03:46 PM ET 01.28 | Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn has been cleared to play in the team's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night. Benn, who is a Victoria, British Columbia native, required permission from the United States for a renewed work visa before he would be eligible to participate in games on U.S. soil. Receiving word that his paperwork had cleared on Monday afternoon, Benn was officially penciled into the Stars lineup for the first time since last season. Benn missed the team's first five games of the year due to a contract negotiation with the Dallas franchise. Last week, the two sides finally agreed on a five-year extension worth $26.25 million.

They should have included his work visa paperwork in the contract extension to save time.

Dallas is starting to man up this season with Jerome, Whitney and now this guy, could be they get it going late, unlike some teams that are starting too fast.

Not if we keep giving up 37 shots a game... while only attempting 25. Jamie helps the later but the former is going to leave our goalies shell shocked.

That's all those transplanted Canadians who aren't used to being able to stop in winter time...they're used to sliding thru intersections so they don't even bother anymore.

Funny. You can tell them by the way they go to the pool while the rest of crowd is in sweats.

Crap.

January 28, 2013  09:33 PM ET

Dallas can't stay out of the Penalty Box.

Detroit can't score on the power play.





Should be riveting tomorrow.

Grant Fuhr laughs at your measly 35 shots a game. He say let him know when you give up an average of 40!
