Benn and teammate Tyler Seguin have been publicly called out by the Stars' ownership and management team for not meeting performance expectations, Sean ShapIro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stars CEO Jim Lites and owner Tom Gaglardi aren't mincing words when it comes to their opinions about Benn and Seguin, having gone as far as exchanging expletive rants with one another about how they feel about each player's been performing. "We are a stars-driven league, and our stars aren't getting it done," Lites said. "It's embarrassing, and no one writes it. Write it!" Benn has 30 points (15 goals, 15 assists) in 38 games this season, but there are actually 66 players in the NHL with more points at this juncture. Suffice it to say, the Stars need much more from their team captain, especially with Dallas struggling to ascend near the top of a tightly contested Central Division.

Benn scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Benn's goal came on a tap-in and was his 14th goal of the season, putting him fifth all-time in Stars franchise history with 268 goals in 701 games. It turned out to be the game winner and moves Benn to 27 points on the season. Averaging just 0.79 points per game, Benn is on pace for his worst season since his rookie campaign. Despite that, he remains a threat to score each and every night and owners shouldn't question their decision to deploy Benn on a nightly basis.

Benn picked up a goal and an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old got the Stars on the board just after the midway point in the third period with his 11th goal of the season, and Benn then set up Alexander Radulov for the winner about six minutes later. Benn now has four goals and 10 points in his last 10 games, and like clockwork he's on pace for another 30-goal, 70-point campaign.

Benn registered three assists in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

It's worth noting the 29-year-old logged a season-low 15:13 of ice time against New York. Despite his surprisingly scarce playing time, Benn managed to pick up a pair of secondary assists and added a third helper on Alexander Radulov's second goal in the third period. The Stars' captain now has 17 points in 2018-19.

Benn scored a goal in a 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Benn's marker came on the power play and moves him up to 12 points in 15 games. That said, most of his damage came early in the season with Benn only having managed two goals and a pair of assists in his last 11 games. Next up for No. 14 is a home contest versus the Sharks on Thursday.

Benn snapped a seven-game goal drought Thursday with a snipe in a 2-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

The Stars are the prototypical one-line team, so when Benn, Tyler Seguin and Alexander Radulov are quiet, so is the team. Benn has a modest two points in his last two games, but 10 points overall (five goals, five assists) in 12 games. Let's hope this goal kick starts the line and the team. And your fantasy squad.

Benn notched an assist Tuesday in a 4-1 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The assist ended Benn's six-game pointless drought. The Stars' forward now has nine points on the season and certainly had plenty of opportunities Tuesday night, firing a team-high four shots on goal. No need to panic about the recent dry spell, continue deploying Benn in all formats.

Benn dished out a pair of helpers in Thursday's 3-0 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Benn's no stranger to multi-point outings, having finished with 79 points or more in four of the past five campaigns. He assisted on goals by linemate Alexander Radulov and skilled defenseman John Klingberg -- two guys who are primed to return the favor quite often for the four-time 30-goal scorer as the season unfolds.

Benn scored two goals in Monday's 5-3 preseason win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

He also fired a team-high seven shots, and the 29-year-old sniper seems ready for the regular season to begin -- Benn's averaged 244.2 shots on net over the last five seasons, and scored on an impressive 14.1 percent of them. With a spot on the Stars' top line and top power-play unit locked in, he should be headed for another very productive campaign.

Benn scored three unanswered goals in the first period Saturday in a 4-2 win against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

That gives Benn two hat tricks and eight points in his final three games of the season, for a total of 36 goals and 79 points. It is a 10-goal improvement from a disappointing season last year in which he scored only 26 and finished with a minus-9 rating. But perhaps the most impressive stat about Benn this season? This is the third time in four seasons he's played all 82 games, a testament to his durability despite the heavy game he likes to play. Even though the Stars had another disappointing season, Benn was among the team's best players.
