ST. LOUIS -- Jamie Benn scanned the middle of the ice, looking for a cutting teammate, hoping to set up a teammate for a power-play scoring chance. He ended up doing neither, and actually lured Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington into a trap, the hidden highlight of his hat trick on Saturday night.
Benn swept a no-look finish between Binnington's legs during the second period -- his second goal of the night during the Stars' 4-1 win over the Blues on Saturday night -- and announced his return to the Dallas lineup with authority. It was subtle yet flashy, sneaky yet gaudy, nasty and gorgeous.
