“Beast mode” Jamie Benn was in evidence at American Airlines Center on Wednesday night. One borderline dirty (certainly tardy) hit later, the Dallas Stars find Benn day-to-day going into the final game of a four game home-stand. Though 2-0-1 is a nice record at home here of late, the Washington Capitals present a higher level challenge than those prior three Eastern Conference opponents.
On game two of a back-to-back, the Capitals come in to Dallas on a 7-3-0 run, including last night’s 5-2 loss against the Blues in St. Louis.
