Jamie Benn Scores 400th Goal in Win Over Oilers

Edmonton, Alberta

Jamie Benn scored his 400th career goal on Tuesday night, leading the Dallas Stars to a 4-2 victory against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place. The game began at 9:00 PM ET and was the only NHL matchup scheduled that evening.

Benn found the back of the net just before the first period ended, giving the Stars a 1-0 lead. The goal came after a precise feed through the crease, showcasing Benn’s skill in finishing high into the net. “It feels great to hit that milestone and help my team win,” Benn said after the game.

Dallas entered the game missing forward Mikko Rantanen, who was serving a suspension, but managed to maintain pressure against the struggling Edmonton defense. The Oilers have been noted for their weak defensive performance this season, allowing an average of 3.54 goals per game, ranking them 28th in the NHL.

Jason Robertson also had a strong performance, contributing a goal during his ongoing six-game scoring streak. “We knew we had to capitalize on their mistakes,” Robertson said. His teammate, Wyatt Johnston, assisted on the second goal of the night, contributing to his already impressive performance this season with 11 goals.

Stuart Skinner, the Oilers’ goalie, struggled again, with expectations high for him despite a rough season. He has a save percentage of .886, which leaves room for improvement as the team heads into more challenging matchups.

Edmonton did not back down, with Connor McDavid scoring late in the second period, but it wasn’t enough to close the gap. McDavid now has 33 points so far this season, remaining a key player for the Oilers.

As the match progressed, the Stars displayed a potent offense, underlining their 29.3% power-play success rate, one of the highest in the league. The Oilers, also known for a strong power play, managed only to keep pace in the contests despite being outmatched.

This game marked the third in a four-game road trip for the Stars, who previously beat Vancouver before losing a tough one to Calgary. The victory against Edmonton secures their momentum as they look ahead to future games.

The next meeting between these two teams is set to take place later this season, as both aim to improve their standings within the league.
