Dallas Stars’ Jamie Benn Records Assist in Double-Overtime Loss to Oilers
The Dallas Stars‘ Jamie Benn contributed with an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday’s thrilling 3-2 double-overtime defeat against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of their playoff series.
Benn showcased his playmaking ability by capitalizing on a turnover to set up Tyler Seguin‘s first goal of the game at 6:11 of the second period, giving the Stars a temporary lead.
After a somewhat quiet first round, Benn’s performance in Game 1 against the Oilers demonstrated his impact potential, recording five points over six games in the second round series.
Throughout the playoffs, the 34-year-old veteran has amassed nine points, fired 31 shots on net, delivered 39 hits, and maintained an even plus-minus rating over 14 postseason appearances while occupying a key role within the Stars’ middle-six lineup.
