Benn scored the game-winning goal in overtime during Monday's win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
After averaging 85 points per year over the previous three seasons, Benn's been a little slow out of the gate in 2016-17 with just six goals and 10 helpers through 20 games. However, the Stars are beginning to get healthier around him, which should prove to help Benn's offensive production going forward. Additionally, he's a hot stretch away from creeping back up to point-per-game territory. Continue to view Benn as an elite fantasy asset.

Benn notched an assist, as well as two penalty minutes, in Sunday's 5-4 loss to Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
With 14 points in 16 games, Benn is one of the best fantasy forwards in the game right now. Unfortunately, his next tilt is against the Devils, who have the third lowest goals against per game in the league.

Benn notched two assists -- one with the man advantage -- during Friday's win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
After a slow start (four points through the first eight games of the campaign), Benn has caught fire with two goals, seven assists, 15 shots, 10 PIM and 13 hits over his past seven games. He's an elite scorer and fantasy option, and Benn is usually worth the price of admission in daily contests when facing a favorable opponent.

Benn did what he does best Thursday, potting a pair of goals in a 4-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
His second snipe came on the power-play in the third period and held up as the game-winner. With 11 points in 14 games thus far, Benn is behind his typical point-per-game (or higher) scoring pace, but the Stars' captain now has seven points in his last six games and should continue to get on the scoresheet regularly as one of the most well-rounded, prolific forwards in the league.

Benn handed out a trio of assists, went plus-4 and racked up six penalty minutes in Thursday's 6-2 rout of St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Now that's how you stuff a scoresheet. Benn has started off a couple ticks below his usual productivity -- just five points in nine games before Tuesday's outburst -- but by the end of the year, that'll look like nothing like statistical noise. That said, it'd be nice to see Benn launch a few more shots on net in that interest, as his current mark of 2.4 per game is noticeably short of the three-plus he's averaged for three consecutive seasons.

Benn is in line to play Thursday against the Jets, Mark Stepneski of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benn was held out of skating Monday and Wednesday due to general soreness related to his offseason core muscle surgery but it was never expected to force him out of game action. The 27-year-old will likely reassume his role on the second line alongside Radek Faksa and Patrick Eaves when the Stars take the ice against the Jets.

Benn did not skate this past Monday and Wednesday due to soreness related to his offseason core muscle surgery, the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
This doesn't seem to be a serious issue, but Benn is sure to be monitored closely as he's one of the league's best offensive players, and the Stars have been ravaged by the injury bug with five forwards on injured reserve. "You've missed all of training camp, and you get in high-intensity games, and you torque it more than you would in any practices," coach Lindy Ruff said. "It's a balancing act. We don't want to aggravate what he's got going on, but at the same time, we need to elevate play." We expect the Stars to shed light on Benn's status closer to puck drop Thursday evening.

Benn grabbed his second goal of the year in the Stars' OT loss to the Kings on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Benn now has two goals and four points in four games. As usual, Benn is fantasy gold. He produces across categories and is consistently one of the best roster players in any fantasy format.

Benn scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's loss to Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
It was a strong night for Benn, who also dished out four hits and logged 21:06 of ice time. He picked up a helper in the season opener and built on that in the second game of the season. The 27-year-old scored a career-high 41 goals last season and forms a dynamic duo with Tyler Seguin on the first line and top power-play unit.
