Sam Bennett may be suspended for dirty play on Brad Marchand

The Florida Panthers' forward Sam Bennett may be suspended for a dirty hit he landed on the Boston Bruins' captain Brad Marchand in last night's game.

Bennett, who was back on the ice for the first time since the second game against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round, took Marchand out of the game with a dangerous hit.

Some would say that Marchand took himself out of the game, as he's the one we went over to Bennett with speed and fell on the ice to hit the boards.

Watch a video of the hit here:

But from another angle, we can clearly see that Bennett extends his arm to punch Marchand in the face at the same time:

Unfortunately, Marchand had to leave the game after the second period. The Panthers now lead the series 2-1 and without Marchand, the Bruins will definitely struggle to win against Florida.

Do you think Bennett should be suspended for his dirty play on Brad Marchand?
