Jamie Benn ejected for crosschecking Ryan Jones (Video)

Dallas Stars left winger Jamie Benn was ejected from Thursday night's game for crosschecking Edmonton Oilers for crosschecking Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Jones.

It was a real cheap shot as there were only 4 minutes left in the third period and the Oilers had a 5-1 lead. Benn apparently took exception as he watched from the bench as Jones got tangled up with Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen a minute or two earlier.  As Benn came off the bench, he saw Jones not paying attention and nailed him right in the back with a real cheap shot.

Benn was given a five minute cross-checking major and a game misconduct, and we will see if he receives additional punishment from the league.
