The Dallas Stars think Jamie Benn (appendectomy) will return in 10 days to two weeks. That's an improvement over the initial timetable, which suggested that Benn could miss up to three weeks. Although there's never a good time to be injured, the All-Star break should work in Benn's favor. Benn is projected to miss the Stars' next five games, but Dallas has seven straight off days starting with January 25th.
