Panthers forward Sam Bennett was up to his old tricks in the third period of Game 4, nearly injuring Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll intentionally.

In Game 1, Sam Bennett took out Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz with a controversial shot to the head.
Game 2 saw Brad Marchand try to take out Joseph Woll with a dangerous, drive-by slew-foot.
In Game 4, following the blatant elbow by Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov that nearly took Mitch Marner out, former first-round pick Sam Bennett almost ended Woll's game early after deliberately shoving Oliver Ekman-Larsson into his own goaltender, causing the Leafs defenseman to collide with the head of Woll as he covered the loose puck.
Woll appeared to be slightly shaken up on the play, but remained in the game until the end, playing one of his best games of the season.
Of course, Bennett was able to avoid having a penalty called, but it doesn't come as a surprise, given the fact that the Panthers had double the amount of power plays that the Leafs were awarded, including 4 straight opportunities in the first period alone.
With Game 5 set for Wednesday night, the Leafs will need to find a way to keep Bennett and the Panthers in check without crossing the line, and stay out of the box in the process, if they want any chance of going back to Florida with an opportunity to end the series in 6 games.
