Stars Captain Jamie Benn Out 2+ Games with Upper-Body Injury, Nose Stitches

Stars captain Jamie Benn is expected to miss at least two games, not traveling for the East Coast road trip, after sustaining an upper-body injury and receiving stitches in his nose from hitting the ice in Sunday's game. Coach Gulutzan hopes he can rejoin the team for the West Coast leg starting Jan. 13 in San Jose. Benn, 36, has 7 goals and 7 assists in 23 games this season, having previously missed 19 games with a punctured lung. He is one of four NHL veterans who do not wear visors.
