Jamie Benn Scores Lone Goal In Win
6 years agoDallas Stars forward Jamie Benn buried his 19th goal of the season in his team's 1-0 defeat of the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. Not only did the Stars' captain register the game's only tally but he also filled the box score with a plus-one rating, six shots on goal and four hits 20:29 of time-on-ice. It's no secret that the 29-year-old has seen his production slip in 2018-2019 (35 points in 49 games) but he's still on pace to eclipse the 30-goal mark for the fifth time in his career. Recently moved into more of a checking role alongside Radek Faksa and Blake Comeau, Benn still offers great value given his cross-category production (eight power-play points, 122 shots, 84 hits). He'll look to extend his current point streak to three games when the Stars take on the Wild at home on Friday.
