Bennett's behavior during the game could lead to him facing suspension. He was involved in two dirty plays, and the Department of Player Safety is expected to make a decision on this soon.

The first hit was on Matthew Knies, which forced him to leave the game. Bennett appeared to mistake the game for wrestling and put Knies on the ground.

The second hit was even more dangerous, as Bennett gave Michael Bunting multiple cross-checks, one in the head and one in the back while Bunting was still on the ground.

Videos of the plays have been circulating on Twitter and fans are eagerly awaiting the decision of the Department of Player Safety. Some reports suggest that Bennett is unlikely to face suspension for either infraction. However, his behavior was undoubtedly dangerous, and fans are wondering how many games he should be suspended for.

The Leafs now have to regroup and find a way to win the next two games in Florida. With the Panthers holding the edge in the series, the Leafs will need their key players to step up and lead the way forward.
