Jamie Benn scored his 22nd goal of the season in the Stars 4-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks Benn has reached the 22 goal mark for the third consecutive season, though now he has the chance to surpass it and set a new career high. The Stars franchise player has been terrific in his first season as "The Guy" in Dallas. His brief injuries have kept him back from having a 70+ point season, but he has the talent to be a point per game talent in the near future. He's a must start every night he plays.

Jamie Benn (leg) will return to the Dallas Stars' lineup on Wednesday. Stars coach Glen Gulutzan doesn't want to break up the top line, so Benn is projected to play with Adam Burish and Steve Ott on the second line. "I don't think it will be a 20-minute night for Benny," Gulutzan said. "We'll watch his minutes and monitor his comfort level. We won't PK him tomorrow, just to make sure he gets through. I expect he'll be charged up and ready to go to join this fight with our team.""

Jamie Benn (leg) is expected to miss at least two contests after being cut in the leg by a skate on Thursday. Stars coach Glen Gulutzan is hoping that Benn will be able to play on Tuesday. "He's got a significant cut on his leg," Gulutzan said. "Thank goodness nothing else was involved, just a very deep, significant, painful cut, and we're glad that nothing else happened. So he'll be a day to day guy."
