Dallas Stars Jamie Benn, Wandell Doubtful for Wednesday

ESPN Dallas reports that Stars' forwards Jamie Benn and Tom Wandell are doubtful for Wednesday's game at home against the Edmonton Oilers.

The nature of Benn's injury has not, to my knowledge, been disclosed but it seems like this is a day to day thing, unless the cover of the All-Star break provides a nifty excuse to not divulge a more serious condition. #conspiracytheories.

It certainly sounds like day to day. Click over ESPN Dallas for the quotes.

In the mean time the club has re-called Aaron Gagnon yet again, sent Francis Wathier back to Texas and also re-called forward Travis Morin. Travis is a product of the USHL system and is 27 years old. He's having a nice season with the Texas Stars (32 points in 45 games) but has not, according to hockeydb, ever played an NHL game.

Gagnon is accruing days with the NHL club and is close to his 10 game/30 day limit before needing to be sent through waivers again, having already played 8 games this season.

The release is after the jump.

How do you shuffle the lines with Benn out?
