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."

Jamie Benn is day-to-day after being cut in the leg by a skate Thursday night in the Dallas Stars' 3-2 win against the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.
The Stars forward left the game about midway through the second period after Mark Giordano's skate struck the back of his left leg in a collision, but it appears as if he dodged a bullet here. "He's got a cut on his leg. He got hit by a skate. He's got stitches in his leg and he's going to be day-to-day," said Stars coach Glen Gulutzan. "It's a pretty decent size cut, so he is going to be day-to-day. He probably won't play in Phoenix (Saturday), but there is a possibility he could play here (vs. Nashville) on Sunday." Benn has 17 goals and 49 points this season.
