In a season in which the Dallas Stars seem to be unable to stay healthy, another injury update comes to pass. This time — good news for the lineup, as the Captain Jamie Benn is expected to play tonight.
Benn had missed just one game out of 307 previous contests before going down with a foot injury on New Year’s Eve. He played on two bum hips in his Art Ross winning season, and had double hip surgeries in the offseason to avoid missing playing time. Now, the power forward for the Stars has missed the last four contests over the past two weeks, watching his squad go 1-2-1 without him in the lineup from the press box.
