Stars' Jamie Benn: Two-point effort in win
Rotowire
Benn scored a shorthanded goal and added an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Flames.
The veteran forward got Dallas on the board in the final minute of the first period on a great hustle play by Roope Hintz, who beat everyone to the puck after the Stars had cleared it the length of the ice and found Benn wide open in front of Jacob Markstrom. Benn has three multi-point performances in the last five games, and on the season the 34-year-old is showing he still has plenty left in the tank, scoring three goals and eight points in eight contests. Notably, none of that production has come with the man advantage after Benn racked up 13 goals and 30 points on the power play in 2022-23.

Stars' Jamie Benn: Two points at even strength
Rotowire
Benn lit the lamp and earned an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers.
Benn has yet to convert on the man advantage, but he banked 30 points in that key scenario last season, and it's the overall power-play units from Dallas that need a jump start. There's plenty of time to turn things around, but the Stars rank 22nd in the league with a 14.3 power-play percentage on the young season, and their percentage of high-danger chances (5.3) is significantly lower than the league average of 8.1. These team trends should be taken into account as you make lineup decisions involving Benn, who has been the Stars' captain since 2013.

Stars' Jamie Benn: Gets two-game suspension
Rotowire
Benn was suspended for two games by the NHL on Wednesday for cross-checking Mark Stone during Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Vegas in Game 3.
Benn's actions also led to him receiving a major penalty and a game misconduct early in the first period of the contest. This suspension will keep him out of the Stars' lineup for Game 4 on Thursday. Dallas is already down 3-0 in the series, and if Vegas is able to complete the sweep, then Benn will be ineligible to play in his team's 2023-24 regular-season opener. If Dallas wins Thursday's contest, then Benn will serve the second half of his suspension during Game 5 on Saturday. The 33-year-old forward has three goals and 11 points in 16 playoff outings this year.
