He said it: Jamie Benn hopeful he will 100 percent recovered from hip surgery by Oct. 8 season opener

Stars captain Jamie Benn was skating this week for the first time since he had double hip surgery back in late April and early May. Benn plans to spend much of his summer in Frisco rehabbing and said he feels like he’s ahead of schedule.

Benn spoke to Stars prospects at Development Camp Wednesday and then answered a few questions with the media.
