Jamie Benn pads snowballing postseason scoring record

Jamie Benn is putting together the makings of a remarkable playoff scoring portfolio.

The Dallas Stars point-piling captain collected two assists in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the St. Louis Blues, running his league-leading total to 14 points in 10 games.

He has 19 points in 16 career playoff games, or a 1.19 point-per-game average, which ranks higher than the NHL's active leader (among those with 50 games), Sidney Crosby.

This isn't outlying production, of course, as Benn's 176 points over the last two regular seasons ranks as most league-wide. But unlike most players, who see their rates tail in the second season, Benn's postseason scoring (albeit a small sample) represents a higher rate than his inflated totals over his previously prolific regular seasons.
