Jamie Benn to Undergo Surgery for Collapsed Lung

Originally posted on NHL Trade Talk  |  Last updated Sep 25, 2025 12:11 PM ET

Scary news out of Dallas on Thursday morning as captain Jamie Benn is set to undergo surgery for a collapsed lung. Stars’ GM Jim Nill confirmed that Benn was diagnosed with the injury during the third period of Tuesday’s game and will miss significant time. He is expected to make a full recovery and will be reevaluated in four weeks’ time.

The Stars finalized a one-year, $4 million deal with their captain this summer. At 34, Benn remains committed to Dallas despite declining production. While the priority is his health, he’s a proven leader on the team, and the organization will be hopeful that this isn’t something that will keep him out of action too long.
