Jamie Benn felt responsible for Dallas' 4-1 loss to Nashville on Monday night. "I'll take the blame. I had three (turnovers) in the first period and they scored on two of them," Benn said. "And when your leader and your captain is doing that, it's unacceptable, and I've definitely got to clean it up." He finished Monday's game with a minus-2 rating. Benn has 17 goals and 40 points in 49 matches this campaign.

Jamie Benn pointed to the Dallas Stars' 17 giveaways as one of the key reasons they suffered a 5-1 loss to Detroit on Saturday. "That's a tough one to lose," Benn said. "Those [giveaway] stats are pretty accurate. You can't do that against a team like that. You turn the puck over against them, and they'll make you pay. That's what happened tonight." Giveaways have been a recurring problem for Dallas this season. They currently have the fifth highest total in the league with 417 giveaways in 41 games this season.

Jamie Benn broke his 11-game goal drought by scoring twice in the Dallas Stars' 6-4 win against Winnipeg Saturday but he was particularly pleased that he scored twice on the power play. The Stars went into the game last in power-play success. "You just have to stay with it, and we did that," Benn said. "We knew we had been playing well, so we really didn't change anything. We just stayed focused and took advantage of the opportunities." Teammate Tyler Seguin said he was as excited to break Benn's goal slump as Benn was. "I think I got a monkey off my back, too," said Seguin, who had an assist on both goals. "It was nice to see. Sometimes they're just not going in, but he made some great shots tonight."
