Seguin was expected to break out during his second NHL season but may experience some more growing pains on the third line. Last season he scored only 11 goals and 22 points through 74 games but broke out during the postseason. Expect a slight improvement on those totals.

Stars forwards Jamie Benn and Adam Burish, who are out with groin injuries, did not participate in the game. Both players watched the game from the stands.

Neither player participated but both would have played if it were a playoff game. Benn scored 22 goals and 56 points in only his second NHL season. He will be relied on to help anchor the second line this season and should play alongside sniper Loui Eriksson.

"They're closer," said Gulutzan. "If this were regular season Benny would probably jump in, but Burish couldn't. Then again, we're in that same thing - why do it. We'll give them a couple more days."

Sounds like the second-line pivot will be healthy for the season opener. Benn scored 22 goals and 56 points in only his second NHL season. He will be relied on to help anchor the second line this season and should play alongside sniper Loui Eriksson.

Also, Jamie Benn (groin) and Adam Burish (groin) skated on their own while the non-game group practiced this morning.

Benn skated for a second consecutive day which is an encouraging sign. Last season, Benn scored 22 goals and 56 points in only his second NHL season. He will be relied on to help anchor the second line this season and should play alongside leading scorer Loui Eriksson.

Here are a few notes from Monday's practice in Frisco. The Stars have added Jamie Benn and Adam Burish to the list of players they are being cautious with right now. Those two players have sore groins.

The Stars will be careful with their prized young forward. Last season, Benn scored 22 goals and 56 points in only his second NHL season. He will be relied on to help anchor the second line this season and should play alongside leading scorer Loui Eriksson.

The Sabres and defenseman Tyler Myers wrapped up their contract extension talks this morning, with the sides agreeing to a seven-year deal. Financial details were not immediately available.

With an improved supporting cast, Myers should be preparing for a career year. Look for his current average of 11 goals and 43 points to be his absolute floor.
