Dallas Stars Rookie Valeri Nichushkin Is Making A Big Impact
The Stars new top line has been wonderful lately. Give the rookie some credit. Five games ago, Dallas Stars coach Lindy Ruff put his three most skilled forwards together to see what would happen. Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, and Valeri Nichushkin have been a revelation. The trio has held their own in tough outings lately and been utterly dominant against weaker competition like Calgary and Edmonton. Most of the attention has gone to Benn and Seguin, and with reason. Seguin has seven points over those five games. Benn has eight points over the same span. Nichushkin has two points in that time...

Jamie Benn Making a Statement Trying to Crack Team Canada Olympic Roster
The Dallas Stars captain wanted to make the Team Canada brass sit up and take notice of him after he was snubbed from the Olympic orientation camp roster. He's done just that early this season. Way back this summer, when the orientation camp rosters for the 2014 Winter Olympic teams were announced, Jamie Benn didn't find his name on the list for Team Canada. At the time, Benn was spending his summer in his hometown of Victoria, B.C., and while he wasn't quite sure of the rationale for the mild snub, he did vow to use it to motivate him. "It’s obviously their decision," Benn said to the...

Willes: Tough to keep B.C.'s Jamie Benn off Team Canada roster
Dallas Stars' head coach Lindy Ruff heard things about his new captain – heard he was one of the best young forwards in the game, heard he was the complete package – but didn't understand what he had until he started watching Jamie Benn on a daily basis. Then he began to understand some things about the young Dallas Stars' captain even if he didn't understand why Team Canada didn't see the same things he was seeing.

Dallas Stars Daily Links: Jamie and Jordie Benn Playing Big Roles for the Stars This Season
In which Jordie Benn is shown some brotherly love, Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn are greater than the sum of their parts, or however that saying goes, and cheap beer at the AAC is cheap. We talked about Jamie Benn yesterday, with a quote from Jordie Benn. Now let's talk about Jordie Benn, with a quote from Jamie Benn. "Every guy who comes into the league is afraid to make a mistake and then get scratched or sent down. We're all that way, so it was natural for him. But you have to push through it, and he's done that... We grew up competing against each other our whole lives, so I know what a...

Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn Proving Themselves One of League's Most Potent Duos
Seguin and Benn both recorded career-highs in points in Calgary to vault them up the league-leader boards. Isn't it nice to see a plan come together? When the Dallas Stars acquired Tyler Seguin in July I, like most fans, wrote "Benn + Seguin" on the nearest scrap of paper and then drew a red heart around the outside of it. (Right next to the scratched-out one that said "Benn + Jagr"...) It was the easiest plan in the world. Tyler Seguin was going to be the center and Jamie Benn was going to score all the goals. Boom. Or, you know, Benn will get five assists and Seguin will score four times....

Fantasy Hockey News for Friday
A fantasized look at Thursday's NHL games. Wow what a game for a couple of Stars out in Calgary. Tyler Seguin scored a four spot and added an assist while Jamie Benn had a whopping 6 points (1+5=6). The outburst gave each player 22 points, tying them for fifth in the league lead in scoring. Seguin now has goals in three straight games and it's obvious that he's the centerpiece of the scoring for Dallas, a much better situation (fantasy wise, at least) than Boston. Are you as freaked out as I am that after two goals last night, Alexander Steen now leads the NHL in goals and points? We're...

Video: Jamie Benn Goes Coast-to-Coast on Detroit Red Wings, Jimmy Howard
Jamie Benn does these things from time to time. He just does. They're the kind of things that leave even the most seasoned media veterans smiling and looking at each other in press boxes all over North America. I've caught that live show on several occasions. Tonight's victim was Jimmy Howard, not to mention Jakub Kindl, Pavel Datsyuk, Niklas Kronwall, Mikael Samuelsson, and Drew Miller, who were also present for the spectator-like viewing. The video: Unassisted, that was all Benn. Datsyuk's goal was great later on but it came from a Dallas blunder rather than hard work by Detroit. So...
