Sam Bennett Takes Islanders' Rookie Out of the Game with Ugly Knee-on-Knee Hit (VIDEO)
Sam Bennett strikes again, this time taking Islanders' rookie Simon Holmstrom out of the game with a brutal knee-on-knee hit:
The hit happened in the final minute of the second period, and Holmstrom never returned. No penalty was assessed to Bennett on the play, however Bennett is almost certainly facing a suspension tomorrow.
During his post-game press release, Isles coach Lane Lambert called it a dangerous play, to the surprise of no one. Bennett's history isn't on his side, either.
