Glen Gulutzan: Jamie Benn gets out of hospital today. Doing very well.

Benn is still expected to miss a week to 10 days due to his emergency appendectomy. With Mike Ribeiro already out of the lineup the Stars are down their top two centers. Benn scored 13 goals and 42 points in 43 games. You can probably rule him out over the next five games.

“I take another CAT scan tomorrow morning,” Myers said. “We’ll know a little bit more there, if I can start leaning on my stick a lot more, start engaging in physical play. I think today was its best day.”

Myers was deemed "a ways away" by coach Lindy Ruff at the end of December. Sounds like he continues to take steps in the right direction but probably misses another week or two.

Tyler Myers is also skating with Marc Andre Gragnani. They're skating as the 7th and 8th D-men. Lindy Ruff says Myers won't be ready for Monday's game against Washington. The big defenseman is no longer wearing a splint on his injured wrist, but can't put weight on it or take shots just yet.

Myers is definitely close to returning to the team. The hulking defender last played on November 19th and is on track to return over the next week or two.
