Benn (eye) returned to the lineup for Monday's game against the Sharks, but failed to tally a point in the contest.
EDGE Analysis
Benn has now been held off the scoresheet for five consecutive games, but the 27-year-old forward has still racked up an impressive 63 points in 67 games this season, so it's safe to assume he'll return to form in short order. His next chance to add to his point total will come Thursday in a tough divisional matchup with the Blackhawks.

Benn (eye) will make his return Monday after missing Friday's contest.
EDGE Analysis
The forward had a four-game pointless streak before getting injured on Thursday against Vancouver, but he still does have a fantastic 63 points in 66 games. Now that he's back, he should slot into fantasy lineups as usual.

Benn (eye) is officially considered a game-day call for Monday's contest against the Sharks, Mark Stepneski of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benn missed Friday's contest because of the eye issue, but Stars radio host Bruce LeVine indicates that he practiced without a face shield Sunday and should be considered a better than 50-50 shot at playing in the tilt. A confirmation of his status should come Monday and will likely be the top concern of most fantasy owners.

Benn will miss Friday night's game in Calgary as a result of his upper-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Benn will miss his fifth game overall on the season, but the silver lining is that coach Lindy Ruff expects the captain to miss only Friday's contest. There's obviously no guarantees, but wary fantasy should look for updates on the 27-year-old's status ahead of Monday's puck drop with the Sharks. Jiri Hudler will draw into the lineup with Benn on the shelf Friday

Benn left Thursday's game with an upper-body injury and won't return.
EDGE Analysis
Benn logged 10:17 and only picked up five penalty minutes before leaving Thursday's contest. The winger went on a streak in late February and early March, notching 10 points in seven games, before going pointless in his last four. More information about his injury should be revealed after the game or after practice Friday.

Benn posted a goal and an assist in the Stars' 2-1 win over Florida on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
That's points in six straight for the captain, not to mention a pretty well-rounded stat line. He collected two points, a plus-two rating, three shots, a hit and a blocked shot. Benn has been a beast in the second half of the season. Over the last 27 games, he's posted 15 goals and 34 points with an average of 3.19 shots per game. The Stars might not win often enough, but Benn has been outstanding.

Benn tacked on a power-play and shorthanded goal Thursday night in a 5-4 home loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Benn was able to provide the Stars with a glimmer of hope when he tallied the shortie with 2:51 remaining in the contest, but the Islanders clamped down and ensured that would be the final goal of the game. Benn now has points in five consecutive games -- including four goals and three assists -- and is up to 60 for a point-per-game pace. He's a true difference maker in all fantasy landscapes, so enjoy the production.

Benn finished Sunday's loss to Boston with an assist, five penalty minutes, two shots, a hit and a blocked shot.
EDGE Analysis
It's just another good day to have Benn on your roster. He's been on a tear. In 11 games this month, Benn has seven goals, eight assists and an average of 3.63 shots per game.

Benn registered a goal, an assist and a plus-2 rating to propel the Stars to a 5-2 home win over the Coyotes on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Stars captain is awfully close to a point-per-game pace this season, but he carries a minus-7 rating and hasn't had any luck cracking the scoresheet on the penalty kill after tacking on five shorthanded points in 2015-16. When it comes to a fantasy stud like Benn, you have to closely examine his production across all of the applicable scoring categories to ensure you'd be getting the most bang for your buck out of him in daily contests.
