September was not a kind month to the Dallas Stars by any means. Aside from the positives like training camp taking place and the preseason starting up, there was one major deal breaker: injuries.
As if captain Jamie Benn recovering from offseason surgery wasn’t enough, the Stars suffered a domino effect of injuries throughout the month. First, it was forward Tyler Seguin suffering a heel injury in a World Cup of Hockey preliminary game with Team Canada.
Shortly after, second-year forward Radek Faksa had a minor concussion after a collision in a World Cup game with Team Czech Republic against Team Canada.
