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.
