BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Jamie Benn broke three sticks Monday.
He smashed one on the ice and then snapped two over his knee.
It was a pretty strong picture of where the season is going.
Hey Jamie Benn! How's the Stars' season goi--oh.

The Stars dropped a 4-1 game to Buffalo and dropped to 18-19-8 for the season. Their points percentage of .489 ranks 27th in the NHL, and while the opportunity to grab a wild-card playoff spot in the West still dangles above with 37 games remaining, the optics aren't good right now.
