Sharks’ Benning unhappy with Zegras’ ‘cheap shot’ below belt originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
When they talk about Trevor Zegras being the future of the game, this probably isn’t what they meant.
The NHL 23 cover star took direct aim at the future on Tuesday night – at the future of Matt Benning’s bloodline.
The 21-year-old, who was matched up regularly against Benning, got called for slashing the veteran’s nether regions midway through the second period, but he probably deserved more than two minutes in the box.
Suffice to say, the San Jose Sharks defenseman, already unhappy with the 6-5 shootout loss to the Anaheim Ducks, was not pleased with the wunderkind’s temerity.
