Now that the season's over, Stars coach Glen Gulutzan went into more detail about Jamie Benn's wrist injury.
"Behind the scenes, [Benn] is getting an injection every day to just play, never mind play against the best players and score," Gulutzan said. "He couldn't shoot a puck for the last six weeks, so those are things that are starting to work themselves out. He battled, just like the rest of the guys with injuries, so I'm proud of that." Benn still managed to score 12 goals and 33 points in 41 games, although he did slow down a bit in April.

Jamie Benn was a minus-two in Dallas' 3-0 loss to the Red Wings on Saturday night.
Benn ends the season with 12 goals and 21 assists in 41 games. He remains one of the bright up-and-coming stars in the league, he just needs to be a little more consistent and be surrounded with some more talent to really take off.

The Dallas Stars need to beat Columbus on Thursday to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot.
"Desperation, do or die," said Jamie Benn of the Stars' mindset. "There are still four [points] out there that we can get, and you never know what can happen." Even if Dallas wins both games, they will also need the Red Wings to lose both of their contests and for Columbus to get no more than one point in their final two games. In other words, the odds of the Stars making the playoffs are extremely thin.

Mike Heika of the Dallas News thinks that the play of Jamie Benn will be helped by the trade of Jaromir Jagr.
Heika is not dissing Jagr, rather stating that Benn deferred to Jagr when they were on the ice and now that Jagr has been dealt to Boston, Benn will be able to play the Jamie Benn style of hockey. Benn is now playing with veteran Ray Whitney and that will help the young star as Whitney will get the puck to Benn and let him control the play. Look for Benn to have a big season in 2013-14.

Ray Whitney and Cody Eakin were the others who recorded a goal and an assist apiece. Benn has quietly put together a fine season with seven goals and 24 points in 26 games.

Jamie Benn has been providing leadership for the Dallas Stars of late.
Benn had some tough words after the Stars 8-1 loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday and it impressed his teammates, including captain Brenden Morrow. "He shows more and more leadership every day," Morrow said. "And I think that was an example of it." Benn has 19 points in 22 games after an assist Monday. He is a must start in fantasy pools.
