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

EDGE Analysis

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. Fantasy managers can also benefit if their leagues require a player to have an IR tag to be stashed. 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.

EDGE Analysis

Benn has been skating on his own recently, but he'll nonetheless miss a third straight game Thursday. Another update on the 31-year-old forward's status should surface prior to Saturday night's clash with Carolina.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Benn missed the previous two games due to his lower-body issue yet 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 top-half fantasy value considering he racked up 19 goals and 20 helpers in 69 games last year and can still produce at similar levels once healthy.

EDGE Analysis

Benn has been a game-time call for the last two contests, but he will end up missing both of them with his absence Tuesday. That should allow Jason Dickinson to retain a top-six role with Tanner Kero staying in the lineup. Benn will try to get healthy in time for Thursday's game against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

Look for Tanner Kero or Rhett Gardner to enter the lineup in a bottom-six role, while Jason Dickinson could get a look alongside Roope Hintz and Denis Gurianov on the top line. Benn's next chance to return is Tuesday versus the Red Wings.

Benn had an assist, three hits and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Lightning in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Benn set up the first of Joe Pavelski's two goals in the contest. That positive moment would be outweighed by Benn's tripping penalty in overtime, which led to the Lightning's game-winning goal. Through 25 games, Benn has eight goals, 11 helpers, 67 shots, 80 hits and 32 PIM.
