Stars' Jamie Benn: In line to play Thursday

Benn (soreness) is in line to play Thursday against the Jets, Mark Stepneski of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Benn was held out of skating Monday and Wednesday due to general soreness related to his offseason core muscle surgery, but it was never expected to force him out of game action. The 27-year-old will likely return to the second line alongside Radek Faksa and Patrick Eaves when the Stars take the ice against the Jets.
