Jamie Benn Sparks Controversy in Game 5 Brawl

Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn caused major controversy in Game 5 against the Winnipeg Jets by sucker-punching Mark Scheifele during a third-period scrum, leading to a 10-minute misconduct and a minor penalty for roughing. Scheifele and Jets' Brandon Tanev were also penalized during the altercation. The Jets capitalized on the situation, with Connor Hellebuyck earning a shutout in a 4-0 victory to extend the series. The incident has reignited debate over aggression and sportsmanship in the NHL playoffs. Benn's history of playoff controversies is being considered as the league weighs further discipline. The series stands at 3-2 in favor of Dallas, with Game 6 set to take place in Dallas.
