Benn draws helper in loss to Ducks
Jamie Benn notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to the Ducks. Benn has a helper in each of the first two games in February. The 35-year-old forward assisted on Colin Blackwell’s third-period tally that briefly leveled the score at 1-1. Benn is up to 33 points, 98 shots on net, 79 hits, 60 PIM and a plus-3 rating across 53 appearances this season. He’s moved around the middle six at times but most frequently fills a third-line role.
Laferriere finishes with assist on Wednesday
Alex Laferriere logged an assist, five shots on net, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday’s 6-3 win over the Canadiens. Laferriere has three helpers over his last six outings since returning from an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old looks to be building chemistry on a line with Quinton Byfield and Kevin Fiala, and the trio should see middle-six minutes as long as they stick together. Laferriere is up to 29 points, 109 shots on net, 82 hits and a plus-15 rating across 47 appearances in 2024-25.
Stars vs. Kings Betting Prediction
Take Dallas. The Stars have won seven out of their last 10 games versus the Kings overall. Granted, they did lose their last game to the Kings in L.A. back in December of this season, but otherwise have been the smart bet in this series. The Stars have also won five out of their last six games overall. Despite the Kings dropping back-to-back games entering play tonight, they’re not too far removed from losing four straight games.
