Dallas Stars fans will have to wait a little longer to see left winger Jamie Benn score his 400th career goal.
Head coach Pete DeBoer said prior to the Stars’ game against the Nashville Predators on Thursday night that the veteran will miss the contest due to “maintenance”.
Jamie Benn has not missed a regular-season game since the 2020-21 season. He is out tonight due to “maintenance,” per DeBoer.
Goal No. 400 will not be against Nashville.
