Overview

• General manager Jim Nill said Benn didn’t feel well after a late hit, and an arena x-ray found a hole in his lung before he was taken to Parkland Hospital.
• The Stars said he will be reevaluated in four weeks, which rules him out for training camp and preseason and could cost him at least the first seven regular-season games.
• The team expects Benn to make a full recovery.
• Before the injury, Benn had been skating with Matt Duchene and Tyler Seguin in preseason, creating a top-nine forward vacancy.
• The update replaces an initial day-to-day upper-body designation issued on Wednesday.
