The Detroit Red Wings face the Dallas Stars this evening (8:30 PM on ESPN+/hulu only/97.1 the Ticket), and this will be the first meeting between the teams since Jamie Benn raked his stick over the back of Dylan Larkin’s neck off a faceoff, injuring Larkin for the entirety of last summer’s offseason.
I’m wondering what you think might happen to Benn, all 6’2″ and 205 pounds of him, as the Red Wings are simply not built as a team that has many instigators…
But I have this gut feeling that Larkin might do something to let the Stars’ captain know that his Shea Weber moment wasn’t appreciated.
