Jamie Benn News
Dallas has signed Jamie Benn to a one-year, $850,000 AAV contract extension.
Benn's production has dipped in recent seasons, but he still adds solid value on a league-minimum contract for a Dallas Stars team facing salary cap adversity. The soon-to-be 37-year-old forward averaged a career-low 13:17 time-on-ice in 2025-26, but still managed a serviceable 36-point campaign (15G / 21A) while playing 60 games.
Benn (upper-body) will return vs. Los Angeles.
Benn has not played since January 4th because of an upper-body injury, but will return to the lineup on Monday against the Los Angeles Kings. The veteran 36-year-old signed a team-friendly deal laced with bonuses based on reaching games-played milestones, including $500,000 for reaching 60 games. Benn has already missed 22 games this season, so he will be hard-pressed to make sure he doesn't miss another and miss out on a lucrative bonus.
Benn (upper-body) is expected to miss Dallas' first two games of their road trip and will be further evaluated.
Benn fell head-first into the ice after an awkward collision in Sunday's game against the Montreal Canadiens. The 36-year-old Benn spent some time gathering himself before leaving the ice without assistance. He has 14 points (7G / 7A) in 23 games this season.
Benn left Sunday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. He'll be re-evaluated on Monday.
