Sam Bennett did not emerge unscathed from Tuesday's game in Nashville.
The Calgary Flames forward was forced to spend the morning in the dentist's chair while undergoing a root canal after taking an errant high stick.

It was a rough night for Bennett, who also dropped the gloves with Ryan Johansen earlier in the contest.
Despite it all, Bennett plans to be in the lineup for Thursday's game in Tampa.
