Jamie Benn was forced to leave game after worrying face-first fall in Canadiens-Stars matchup
We witnessed a very concerning scene in the final minutes of the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Dallas Stars.
Jamie Benn left the game after falling face-first. During the Canadiens' game against the Stars, a sequence quickly made the rounds on social media.
You can see Benn fall heavily, then leave the game. At first glance, it looked serious, especially based on how he got back up. The detail that's drawing even more reaction is the equipment.
Benn is known as one of the players who still plays without a visor. When a player goes down face-first, the level of concern rises immediately, and this one really looked painful.
At the time, there was no clear update on his condition in the heat of the moment, as Benn was still being evaluated after the game. Hopefully, he's okay.

Benn is 36 years old and has worn the "C" in Dallas for a long time. This season, he is on a one-year contract worth $1M, with a deal that expires after 2025-2026.
What we know for now is that he left the game after falling on his face. The rest will depend on the announcements that follow and the decision made by the Stars organization.
Above all, we hope it ends up being more scare than harm, because no one wants to see a player get hurt like that.
