VANCOUVER, B.C. - A trip to Rogers Arena has become an invigorating experience for the Starsin recent years.
Dallas took a 4-2 win Thursday and is now 12-0-1 in its past 13 meetings with the Vancouver Canucks.
But the journey was not without some bad news.
Stars captain Jamie Benn suffered an upper body injury after a hit and fight with mountainous Canucks defenseman Nikita Tryamkin (6-7, 265) and did not play in the third period.
"It's just upper body, we'll assess him for tomorrow's game in the morning," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said of the Stars playing at Calgary on Friday.
