Nobody's posted it here but apparently he got rocked and was shaken up. Got hit in the head. Ugh.

I was just making another pass through the twitter feeds for some word on how he's doing. Took Martin Hanzal's shoulder right on the jaw, or at least in that general area, after letting a shot go. He got up real slow and straight to the locker room. No word so far from the Stars.

Yeah they're being pretty hush hush about it. Didn't Benn have a concussion a couple of years ago?

It was mentioned by Strangis and Reaugh that he has a history of concussions. Not sure that he's had that many, or that that is what this is.

I've been trying to track down a video of it. Hanzal nailed him right after he ripped a shot.

I remember him having a concussion a few years ago, but I don't think he was out that long with it. Hope he's fine after this last hit.

As a Benn owner, I hope he's not out for long. I just traded Desharnais to get Jagr in my league as well. This hurts Jagr if Benn misses time...

Hanzal's hit on Benn was a bit late, and definitely was shoulder to head contact. I'd be surprised if he wasn't suspended, I believe he has been suspended before...

Fingers crossed here as a Benn owner...I'm in the last playoff spot as of now, big blow to my team if he misses any time...

Here's a link to the video...

the more I think about this, the more it really upsets me...I had such high hopes for Benn and in my league in the signature, I paid a high price to acquire him, and he hasn't done much to help me this year. Now if he is injured and misses an extended period of time, I will really regret acquiring him.

In one of my other leagues, we are one week away from our playoffs and I was really hoping Benn was going to start producing. With his talent, I was hoping he'd have a strong second half (of the shortened NHL season).
