Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn misses practice after injury in opener

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn didn't practice Saturday, a day after his right leg buckled awkwardly during a collision in the season opener.

Coach Rick Bowness provided no update after practice on Benn's condition or his status for Sunday's game, when the Stars play Nashville again. The coach only repeated what he said after the 7-0 win over the Predators on Friday night, saying Benn has a lower-body injury and is day-to-day.

Benn got hurt when colliding with Viktor Arvidsson in the second period. Benn went to both knees on the ice, before going to the bench and then being helped down the tunnel before gingerly walking himself.
