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."

Jamie Benn has been getting his chances, but he's registered just two assists in his last six games.
"Something's got to give. He's had too many great chances that aren't finding holes," coach Lindy Ruff said of the Dallas captain. "The fear is to start to press and the vision gets a little narrower and we don't see the people around us and we try too much one-on-one stuff. And he hasn't gotten to that point yet, but my fear is that he may." Benn hasn't picked up a point in his last three games, but he has amassed 16 shots. He has 24 points in 25 contests this season.

Jamie Benn feels he's getting more familiar with Tyler Seguin's game.
The duo was certainly dominant on Thursday when they combined for an incredible 11 points in Dallas' 7-3 win over Calgary. Benn and Seguin are expected to play together for years to come and they should prove to be one of the top offensive pairings in the NHL.

Jamie Benn scored a goal and registered five assists to lead the Stars to a 7-3 victory over the Flames Thursday night.
Benn didn't receive an invite to come to Calgary for Canada's Olympic orientation camp in August. But with Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning potentially sidelined due to a broken right leg suffered this week, Benn made his case for a spot on the Olympic team. Benn now has seven goals and 15 assists in 19 games with a plus-9 rating.

Jamie Benn recorded his 10th assist of the season on Saturday.
