DALLAS — Devon Toews briefly left Game 2 of the Colorado Avalanche’s second-round series after a big hit from Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn early in the second period Thursday night.
Toews went behind his own net to play the puck, and Benn converged with him from the other side and delivered a huge hit. Benn was originally assessed a major penalty, but upon further review, the officials deemed the hit legal and the Avalanche did not receive a power play of any kind.

Toews stayed down on the ice before skating off after being attended to. He went to the locker room for further evaluation.
Toews was able to return to the game later in the second period and assume his regular place next to Cale Makar on Colorado’s top pairing.
