Dallas Stars' Jamie Benn fined $5K for squirting water at Chicago Blackhawks' MacKenzie Entwistle

NEW YORK — Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn has been fined $5,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct after squirting water from the bench into the face of an opponent.

The fine was announced by the NHL on Saturday, a day after Benn squirted water at Blackhawks wing MacKenzie Entwistle as he skated past the Dallas bench late in the third period at Chicago. The Stars won 1-0 in a shootout.

The incident came right after Entwistle had been checked hard into the boards by Michael Raffl near the Stars bench.

The $5,000, the maximum allowed under hockey's collective bargaining agreement, goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
