Benn (upper body) will not play Tuesday, though he's in line to return against the Kings in two days, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Benn is still recovering from an injury that he sustained in Sunday's game against the Chicago. It's been a trying year for the B.C. native, as he's dealt with upper-body issues, and in late December, Benn faced harsh criticism from the Stars' ownership and management team concerning his lack of production. The captain now has 21 goals and 20 assists through 61 games, but that's still not elite-level production in a year where scoring is up across the board.

Benn (upper body) is considered doubtful to play Tuesday against the Golden Knights, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

"Doubtful" doesn't definitely mean he's out, but it sounds incredibly unlikely that Benn will be able to give it a go. As such, you should make plans to be without him, as the Stars surely are. Even in a somewhat disappointing season, the 29-year-old has notched 21 goals in 61 games, and the Stars don't have the depth to replace him. That's especially true given that new addition Mats Zuccarello (upper body) is already out for four weeks.

Benn suffered an upper-body injury and won't to return to Sunday's contest against Chicago, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old suffered the injury early in the first period, and is now officially out for the game. The severity of the injury is unclear, so expect an official word from the team post-game. With Benn out, Radek Faksa appears to have taken his spot on the second line and the power play.

Benn scored a pair of goals in Thursday's 5-2 win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

The two-goal night breaks a nine-game goalless drought for the Stars' captain. It's been a trying season for the 29-year-old, as Benn is averaging just 0.67 points per game, his lowest nightly output since his 2009-10 rookie campaign. He finished with a team-high five shots on goal in Thursday's win.

Benn dished out two assists -- one on the power play -- in Monday's win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Benn has been relatively cold since the calendar flipped to 2019 with just four points in 11 games. He waited until the third period to get revved up in this one, adding a secondary assist on John Klingberg's power-play goal and feeding a perfect pass to Tyler Seguin for the game-winning tally. This is Benn's first multi-point game since Dec. 20 and his eighth of the year.

Benn (upper body) will reenter the lineup Sunday evening against host Winnipeg, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Stars captain missed his first game of the season Friday, but the Stars still managed to eke out a 2-1 win over the visiting Capitals. Benn has plenty of room to build off his progressive total of 32 points (17 goals, 15 assists) through 41 games.

Benn (upper body) will not dress for Friday's game against the Capitals, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Benn was withheld from part of Wednesday's game against the Devils for precautionary reasons, but it appears the issue will force him to miss at least one more contest. The star winger's next opportunity to retake the ice arrives Sunday when the club travels to Winnipeg, while Erik Condra, who was recalled from AHL Texas on Thursday, will presumably draw in against the Capitals.

Benn (upper body) remains day-to-day, per Stars coach Jim Montgomery, who also clarifies that the forward is not in concussion protocol, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Benn reportedly was removed from Wednesday's clash with the Devils for precautionary reasons, but not before the top-line center bagged his second goal in as many games. We strongly advise against making any rash fantasy hockey decisions involving Benn, as his injury does not seem to be all that serious.

Coach Jim Montgomery indicated after the game Wednesday versus the Devils that Benn (upper body) was removed as a precautionary measure, Sean Shapiro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Benn exited after taking a hit from the Devils' Miles Wood, but it fortunately appears he's avoided a serious issue. Still, it's worth monitoring the star winger's status as Friday's game against the Capitals approaches.

Benn left to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Devils and will not return due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

There's some serious cause for concern for Dallas should the issue prevent Benn from taking the ice in the near future. For now, it's best to consider the star winger day-to-day as a matchup with the defending champs looms Friday.
