<p><strong>Andrew Brunette</strong> faced familiar faces on Tuesday when the <strong>Nashville Predators</strong> lost 4-1 to his former <strong>NHL</strong> team, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/florida-panthers">Florida Panthers</a></strong>, at Bridgestone Arena. And while the coach may have great memories from the players he coached in Sunrise, he was <strong>quite frustrated with Sam Bennett</strong> as the forward <strong>injured Roman Josi.</strong></p>



<p>During the second period of the game in Nashville, Bennett hit Josi from behind near the boards. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nashville-predators">Predators</a> captain <strong>went down after his head hit the glass</strong>, and even though Josi stayed on the ice for the remainder of the period, he <strong>did not come back</strong> for the third.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>I didn’t like it. I don’t think there’s a place for it,</strong></em>” Brunette said of that action. While the Predators coach made it clear that he still thinks highly of his former player, Brunette believes Bennett <strong>went too far</strong> with that hit.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>I know [Bennett] is an honest, hard player</strong></em>,” Brunette added. <em><strong>“I just thought it was a little reckless. I thought it was a very vulnerable position</strong> that [Josi] was in, that close to the boards, head first. The League will look at it.</em> <em>They’ll have different angles, and we’ll take another look at it here as well. But just unfortunate to lose a player like that from that kind of hit</em>.”</p>

<h2>Brunette believes Bennett deserved bigger punishment for hit on Josi</h2>



<p>Bennett was immediately given a two-minute penalty for boarding, <strong>a decision that didn’t satisfy</strong> Brunette since such infractions aren’t subject to review. Per <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> rules, only major penalties are eligible for on-ice review.</p>


        

        

        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nhl-rumors-panthers-could-make-a-blockbuster-trade-after-matthew-tkachuks-injury"></div>


<p><em>“<strong>In that situation, for me, the rule’s in place to at least look at it</strong>,” </em>Brunette said<em>. “To me, that was a easy one to look at it. <strong>If you deem it (not a major), that’s why the rule is in place to call it.</strong></em>“</p>



<p>Brunette coached Bennett in his lone season as head coach for the Panthers <strong>in 2021-22</strong>, when Florida’s campaign ended in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He found a new home in Nashville for the 2023-24 NHL season, but couldn’t get past the first round of the playoffs. Now, his Predators sit <strong>7th in the Central Division</strong> with 47 points, product of a 20-30-7 record.</p>



<h2>Josi still out for Brunette, Predators after Bennett’s hit</h2>



<p>To make things even more challenging this season, Josi remains on the sidelines after Bennett’s hit. The 34-year-old is <strong>day-to-day with an upper-body injury</strong>, which is a huge blow for a team that desperately needs its captain to step up.</p>

<p><em>“<strong>We lost our best player and he’s the captain of our team</strong>,” </em>Brunette said<em>. “He’s not gonna lay around, pretend he’s hurt, and not come out. That’s not what the rule’s in place for. We don’t make decisions after the hit. Make a decision on what the hit was.”</em></p>



<p>With Josi’s return date still uncertain, the Predators have recalled defenseman Marc Del Gaizo from their AHL affiliate Milwaukee Admirals.</p>
