Benn scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Benn recorded a season-high mark in shots, and that resulted in the veteran winger notching his second strike of the campaign. Even though Benn will no longer be the productive winger he was during his prime years, he should continue to be a threatening presence as a middle-six forward who also has a prominent role in the power-play unit. However, he's racked up only four points in nine contests, though he's also cracked the scoresheet in his past two outings.

Stars' Jamie Benn: Contributes power-play helper
Rotowire
Benn notched a power-play assist and four PIM in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.
Benn snapped a four-game point drought with an assist on Jason Robertson's second-period go-ahead tally. While that's a positive, Benn has still been held without a shot in four straight games and five of the Stars' eight contests this season. The captain has three points, five shots on net, 14 hits, eight PIM and a minus-2 rating, and his slow start will make it tough for him to reach the 60-point mark for a third straight season. Benn never went more than three games without a shot during 2023-24.
