Longtime Stars captain Jamie Benn enters Saturday’s contest riding a six-game point streak against the Penguins, earning eight points (4 goals, 4 assists) during that span. In all, Benn has registered 20 points (9, 11) in 27 career games played vs. Pittsburgh. His six-game point streak against them is his longest active point streak against a single opponent.
Stars forward Mikko Rantanen recorded a point on all four Dallas goals on Thursday night against the Sabres (1 goal, 3 assists) and has factored on five consecutive team goals dating back to Oct. 5.
His stellar performance on Thursday included perhaps one of the nicest goals you’ll see the Stars score all season.
The Stars will see 39-year-old future Hall of Famer Sidney Crosby on their trip to Pittsburgh, currently in his 22nd NHL season.
Crosby is off to a modest start in the 2026-27 season, yet to score a goal through four games and tallying a pair of assists.
