Jamie Benn will blame himself, but team captain needs help for Stars to get on track

NEW YORK -- Jamie Benn has no trouble blaming himself when something goes wrong with the Stars.

In his fifth year as team captain, Benn carries the weight of responsibility 24-7.

And while he typically lets his teammates off the hook a little too much in his chats with the media, he's right about one thing -- if he's not playing well, then the Stars typically aren't playing well. The 28-year-old forward is a weathervane for this team, so when he has just a goal and three assists in his past 10 games, Dallas is seeking solutions.
