Benn provided a pair of assists in Monday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Benn's line with Wyatt Johnston and Evgenii Dadonov combined on the Stars' last two goals to help the team pull away with the win. This was Benn's second multi-point effort of the season. The 34-year-old is at two goals, four helpers, a plus-1 rating, 12 shots on net, five hits and five blocked shots through seven contests. He's a fixture in the middle-six, and while he may not flirt with a point-per-game pace all season, it appears he can still be useful in fantasy.

Benn recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Concerns of Benn enduring a down campaign after last year's 78-point effort have been quieted, as the 34-year-old has two goals and two helpers through five contests. He set up Wyatt Johnston's insurance tally in the third period Tuesday. Benn has added nine shots on net, five blocked shots, three hits, five PIM and a plus-1 rating while playing in a middle-six role to begin the season.

Benn lit the lamp and earned an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Benn has yet to convert on the man advantage, but he banked 30 points in that key scenario last season, and it's the overall power-play units from Dallas that need a jump start. There's plenty of time to turn things around, but the Stars rank 22nd in the league with a 14.3 power-play percentage on the young season, and their percentage of high-danger chances (5.3) is significantly lower than the league average of 8.1. These team trends should be taken into account as you make lineup decisions involving Benn, who has been the Stars' captain since 2013.

Benn scored a goal on four shots, helping the Stars to a 2-1 shootout victory over the Blues on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Benn opened the scoring Thursday, roofing a shot in tight to give the Stars a 1-0 lead. He would also record a hit and a plus-1 rating in his 17:04 TOI. Coming off a bounce-back season last year where he recorded 33 goals and 78 points in 82 games, the captain is expected to play a major role within the Stars' top-nine forward core and first power-play unit.

Benn is eligible to play in Game 6 against the Golden Knights on Monday after completing his two-game suspension for cross-checking Vegas' Mark Stone on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Dallas won two consecutive contests without Benn in the lineup. He has racked up eight assists, 11 points, 36 shots on net, 30 hits and 51 PIM in 16 games this postseason. Benn's return could make Fredrik Olofsson a healthy scratch for Monday's must-win matchup.

Benn was suspended for two games by the NHL on Wednesday for cross-checking Mark Stone during Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Vegas in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Benn's actions also led to him receiving a major penalty and a game misconduct early in the first period of the contest. This suspension will keep him out of the Stars' lineup for Game 4 on Thursday. Dallas is already down 3-0 in the series, and if Vegas is able to complete the sweep, then Benn will be ineligible to play in his team's 2023-24 regular-season opener. If Dallas wins Thursday's contest, then Benn will serve the second half of his suspension during Game 5 on Saturday. The 33-year-old forward has three goals and 11 points in 16 playoff outings this year.

Benn will have a hearing Wednesday with the NHL's Department of Player Safety for cross-checking Mark Stone during Tuesday's 4-0 loss to Vegas in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Benn received a major penalty and a game misconduct after cross-checking Stone, who was already down on the ice. Although Stone avoided injury, it wouldn't be surprising if Benn was suspended for his actions. The Stars forward has three goals and 11 points in 16 playoff outings this year. With Dallas down 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals, Game 4 is set to be played Thursday.

Benn received a major penalty for cross-checking and a game misconduct in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Benn cross-checked Mark Stone when the Vegas captain was already down on the ice. Even with Stone avoiding an injury, Benn was ejected from the contest and may be subject to supplemental discipline for the dirty play. The 33-year-old has 11 points and 51 PIM through 16 playoff contests, and if he's suspended for Thursday's Game 4 or longer, he wouldn't be able to help the Stars as they try to avoid getting swept.

Benn found the back of the net in Dallas' 4-3 overtime loss to Vegas in Game 1 on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Benn enjoyed a resurgent regular season, recording 78 points in 82 appearances after being limited to 46 points in 2021-22, and he's carried that success into the postseason. Through 14 playoff outings this year, he has three goals and 11 points. Benn was held off the scoresheet for each of his previous two contests, but that came after he enjoyed a five-game point streak from May 2-11.

Benn logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Kraken in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Benn has gotten on the scoresheet in every game in the second round, recording a goal and five helpers over five contests versus the Kraken. He set up Wyatt Johnston on the opening tally in Thursday's game. Benn has 10 points, 27 shots, 22 hits, 32 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 11 playoff outings.
