"The 36-year-old was diagnosed with the injury on Tuesday in the third period of the Stars' preseason game against the Minnesota Wild. Benn logged 15:47 of ice time in the Stars' 3-2 overtime win. Benn is expected to make a full recovery and will be evaluated by the team in four weeks. Losing Benn for at least four weeks means he'll miss the rest of the Stars' preseason and could be out for at least the first seven regular-season games."
"He finished with 16 goals and 49 points in 80 games for the Stars in a 2024-25 campaign that saw the club lose in the Western Conference final for a third consecutive year. Last season also meant Benn was in the final year of an eight-year contract, only to return on a one-year deal worth $1 million to give the Stars a venerable top-nine forward."
Jamie Benn underwent surgery for a collapsed lung after being diagnosed during the third period of a preseason game against the Minnesota Wild. He logged 15:47 in that game and is expected to make a full recovery, with a team evaluation in four weeks. He will miss at least four weeks, meaning he'll miss the rest of preseason and possibly the first seven regular-season games; his season debut could be Oct. 25 against the Carolina Hurricanes. Benn enters his 17th season with Dallas, scored 16 goals and 49 points last season, and signed a one-year $1 million contract.
