Swayman was waiting for the whistle.Zach Benson was not.The Buffalo Sabres forward jabbed Swayman in hopes of jostling the puck loose. Nikita Zadorov didn’t like it. The 6-foot-7, 255-pound defenseman drove the 5-foot-10, 177-pound Benson to the ice. Zadorov’s message was clear: Leave Swayman alone.Advertisement
