Jamie Benn - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Considered day-to-day Benn (upper body) remains on long-term injured reserve but has been upgraded to day-to-day, according to Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports on Saturday.

Impact Benn will miss his 19th straight game against the Flyers on Saturday after he underwent surgery for a collapsed lung in late September, but he was close to being in the lineup. However, the Stars want him to improve his conditioning before getting him back into the fold. Benn amassed 16 goals, 49 points, 136 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and 114 hits across 80 outings during the 2024-25 regular season.

Joining team on upcoming road trip Benn (upper body) will travel with the team for its upcoming two-game road trip, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports Sunday.

Impact Benn has yet to play in 2025-26, but he appears to be closing in on making his season debut. The Stars have stops in Ottawa on Tuesday and Montreal on Thursday, but it has yet to be determined whether the veteran forward will draw into the lineup for either of those games. The 36-year-old produced 16 goals and 49 points across 80 regular-season games in 2024-25.

Participates in optional skate Benn (upper body) took part in the Stars' optional morning skate Thursday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

Impact Benn has been skating for nearly two weeks, but Thursday's morning skate was the first time that he was seen with the group since his surgery to repair a collapsed lung. It seems unlikely that he'll be available against the Ducks on Thursday, but he appears to be getting closer to returning to game action.

Begins skating Friday Benn (upper body) started skating individually Friday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Benn is returning from surgery to repair a collapsed lung. The 36-year-old will still need to advance through practices with his teammates, and it's unclear when he'll be ready for that step. Once healthy, Benn figures to occupy a middle-six role for the Stars.

On long-term injured reserve Benn (upper body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Benn's placement on LTIR shouldn't come as a surprise, considering he will be sidelined until at least mid-November, if not longer. After missing just two regular-season games over the last four seasons, Benn figures to be out of action for at least 15 contests. After putting up just 49 points last year, Benn's extended absence makes him unlikely to reach the 50-point threshold in 2025-26.

Placed on injured reserve Benn (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Benn's placement on injured reserve isn't a surprise after he underwent surgery for a collapsed lung in late September, and he's slated to be transferred to long-term injured reserve at some point, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but he's expected to be sidelined for at least the first month of the regular season.

The Dallas Stars say captain Jamie Benn will undergo surgery for a collapsed lung

SEPTEMBER 25 • Associated Press

Slated to undergo surgery General manager Jim Nill announced Thursday that Benn will undergo surgery for a collapsed lung and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.

Impact Benn sustained an upper-body injury during Tuesday's preseason game during Minnesota. While his absence was initially described as precautionary, the 36-year-old is now facing a multi-week absence that will force him to miss the start of the regular season. Benn is expected to make a full recovery, but he's unlikely to be in the mix to return to game action until at least late October.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Thursday's lineup Benn (upper body) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's preseason game against Minnesota, signaling that he'll sit out.

Impact Benn didn't practice Wednesday as a precautionary measure, and he's considered day-to-day due to his upper-body injury. However, the Stars have downplayed the severity of the issue, and it seems unlikely that his ailment will impact his availability for the start of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Day-to-day with upper-body injury Head coach Glen Gulutzan said Wednesday that Benn is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Benn wasn't on the ice for Wednesday's practice session, but Gulutzan said that the team is simply being cautious since there are still just over two weeks remaining before the start of the regular season. The 36-year-old has appeared in at least 80 regular-season games in each of the last four campaigns, and he logged 16 goals, 33 assists, 114 hits, 70 PIM and 45 blocked shots while averaging 15:18 of ice time across 80 regular-season outings last year.

Inks one-year contract Benn signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Dallas on Thursday, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Impact Benn completed an eight-year, $76 million deal and takes a huge pay cut, though he will have performance bonuses attached to his contract. Benn had 16 goals and 33 assists in 80 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, but he struggled throughout the playoffs with only a solitary goal and two assists in 18 contests. Benn will likely remain on the third line next season, possible alongside Wyatt Johnston and Mavrik Bourque.
