In a recent NHL game, Colorado Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews was forced to leave Game 2 after receiving a significant hit from Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn behind the net. The incident, which did not initially result in a penalty, led to discussions among referees at center ice and was followed by a major penalty being assessed to Benn, which is currently under review. Toews briefly returned to the bench but ultimately went to the locker room for further evaluation. Additionally, during the aftermath, Cale Makar also went down.
