During the second period of the May 5 Stanley Cup Playoff second-round opener, Bennett’s forearm clipped Stolarz in the head area as he was jostling near the front of the net for a rebound. Bennett was not penalized on the play and Stolarz remained in the game for over two minutes after he was initially shaken by the collision.

William Nylander had two goals and an assist, and the Toronto Maple Leafs held on for a 5-4 win against the visiting Florida Panthers in Game 1.
