What It Means:

Benn suffered a lower-body injury on January 16 and thus saw just 3:50 minutes of ice time. He has not played since. His ability to practice on Monday suggests he is getting closer to returning. Dallas has three games this week -- Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Benn has nine points (one goal, eight assists) in 43 games played this season. He is not helping drive possession when on the ice either. His Corsi For Percentage is 49.2 and his Relative Corsi For at Even Strength is a career worst -5.2. We project Benn to record six more points (one goal, five assists) over the remaining course of the season.
