Florida Panthers' Sam Bennett got a taste of his own medicine in a confrontation with Evander Kane during game one of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Oilers.

Bennett really stood up in the playoffs this year. The Panthers forward played a huge role in his team's second straight run to the Stanley Cup Finals with his physical plays.

With Bennett being one of the most physical players in Florida, it's important for the Oilers to show him they won't be intimidated by him.

Do you think Evander Kane and Sam Bennett will drop the gloves in game two after their confrontation in game one?
