Benn got his first taste of game action in Tuesday's preseason win over St. Louis, posting a minus-2 rating with two shots and three hits.

EDGE Analysis

Benn had been skating, but was held out of games as he got comfortable following hip surgery over the summer. Benn skated with a frightening line featuring Tyler Seguin at center and Patrick Sharp on the other wing. Last season's Art Ross Trophy winner, expectations are already high for Benn, but the addition of Sharp on Dallas' top line could make that line even more dangerous.
