14 Jamie Benn LW

Benn scored a goal on five shots and doled out five hits in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.

Benn's tally at 17:49 of the second period was his first goal since Feb. 4. The 31-year-old had just one assist in that span. Benn is up to eight points, 29 shots on net, 12 hits and 11 PIM in 11 outings. The five hits were a season high for the Stars' captain, who is usually no stranger to throwing his body around.

Benn and Dallas' game versus the Predators on Tuesday has been postponed due to severe weather conditions.

Benn will have to wait for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay for his next opportunity to add to the three goals and four helpers he's picked up through eight games this campaign.

Benn produced a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

The play started with Miro Heiskanen saving a near-certain empty-net goal from the Hurricanes. Three passes later, Benn set up Joe Pavelski for the game-tying goal. The 31-year-old Benn has seven points, 20 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through eight games this season. The helper Saturday was Benn's first power-play point of the year.

A loose puck found its way to Benn all alone in front midway through the third period, and he beat Joonas Korpisalo for his third goal in as many games. The Dallas captain was held without a point in his season debut but has rattled off six points in his three games since. Benn saw his production take a dip in 2019-20, but with his fast start to the season, he should probably be owned in all formats.

After missing three straight games due to a lower-body issue, Benn looked very good in his return to the ice.

Benn has seen his numbers decline each of the last two seasons, but he's still a key part of the Dallas attack.

Benn (lower body) was activated from injured reserve and will play in Sunday's game against the Hurricanes.

Benn has been considered a game-time call for each of the last three games, but he's finally returning to action Sunday. The 31-year-old is coming off a down year in which he produced 19 goals and 20 assists over 69 games. He's looking to get back on track this season, and he'll start out on the top line next to Roope Hintz.

Benn has missed the past four games due to the lower-body issue, but appears closing in on a return. The 31-year-old will still need to be activated from injured reserve, but the team could do so ahead of the game. Tanner Kero would likely exit the lineup upon Benn's return.

Benn's status for Saturday's contest likely won't be determined until the Stars take the ice for pregame warmups, so virtual managers hoping to deploy him in their daily lineups should plan accordingly. The 31-year-old forward has missed Dallas' last three games with a lower-body injury.

Benn (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Benn was already ruled out for Thursday's game against the Red Wings, so this was a paper move to free up a roster spot.

Nevertheless, Benn is eligible to be activated from IR for Saturday's matchup against the Red Wings.

Benn (lower body) won't play Thursday against the Red Wings, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Stars Radio reports.

Benn (lower body) is expected to take part in Thursday's game-day skate after which a decision will be made on his status against Detroit, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Benn missed the previous two games due to his lower-body issue, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. Once cleared to play, the British Columbia native should immediately slot into a top-line role in addition to returning to the No. 1 power-play unit. As such, Benn should continue to provide value considering he racked up 19 goals and 20 helpers in 69 games last year and can still produce at similar levels once healthy.

After seeing the start of their season delayed as a result of COVID-19 protocols, Benn was limited to just 11:43 of ice time in the season-opener thanks to his lower-body issue. If the 31-year-old jumps back into the lineup against Detroit, he should immediately retake his spot on both the top line and No. 1 power-play unit. If not, Jason Dickinson figures to continue seeing elevated minutes alongside Roope Hintz and Denis Gurianov.
