In the second period Jamie Benn was tied up with Chris Tanev going into the corner to retrieve the puck. That' when Benn stuck out his leg, and slew-footed Tanev dangerously close to the boards.
There was a referee right beside them and he did not think that was worth a penalty. Luckily, Tanev was not hurt on the play but that could have been a lot worse. It will be interesting if the Department of Player Safety takes a look at this play.
