Stars' Jamie Benn: Will play Sunday

Dallas' captain missed his first game of the season Friday, but the Stars still managed to eke out a 2-1 win over the visiting Capitals. Benn has plenty of room to build on his progressive total of 32 points (17 goals, 15 assists) through 41 games.

Stars' Jamie Benn: Won't play Friday

Benn was withheld from part of Wednesday's game against the Devils for precautionary reasons, but it appears the issue will force him to miss at least one more contest. The star winger's next opportunity to retake the ice arrives Sunday when the club travels to Winnipeg, while Erik Condra, who was recalled from AHL Texas on Thursday, will presumably draw in against the Capitals.

Benn exited after taking a hit from the Devils' Miles Wood, but it fortunately appears he's avoided a serious issue. Still, it's worth monitoring the star winger's status as Friday's game against the Capitals approaches.

There's some serious cause for concern for Dallas should the issue prevent Benn from taking the ice in the near future. For now, it's best to consider the star winger day-to-day as a matchup with the defending champs looms Friday.
