If you watched Sam Bennett's dangerous open-ice hit on Sharks' Radim Simek in the final minute of Monday's game, you figured the Flames center would be facing a lengthy suspension.
Well, you'd be wrong.
According to The Athletic's Kevin Kurz and Sportsnet's John Shannon, the NHL won't discipline Bennett.
At all.
No suspension. No fine. Nothing.
Bennett's hit on Simek came with 25 seconds left in a game the Flames were leading 8-5. Simek had just passed the puck and Bennett went straight at the first-year Sharks player, running him over with a vicious hit.
