EDGE Analysis

Benn has been slowed down by a hip injury during the preseason that has cost him some practice and game action. With the Stars set to open the regular season Thursday against the Penguins, it doesn't appear as though the ailment is serious enough to sideline the 26-year-old, so he figures to return to his usual top-line spot by the season opener.
