Stars’ Jamie Benn shares key adjustment needed for Wild Game 6

The Dallas Stars have their backs against the wall heading into Game 6 against the Minnesota Wild. Minnesota won Game 5 to take a huge 3-2 series lead. One more loss will see Jamie Benn and the Stars eliminated from the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Stars have the talent to make a deep run. In fact, they have made deep runs in each of the last three seasons. Dallas has been a Western Conference Finalist each year during this run. They have the experience, but Benn pointed out a crucial adjustment this team will need to make in Game 6.

“Put more pucks on net,” Benn said, via NHL.com. “Keep shooting the puck. You get a chance, rip it. Usually, when you do that, good things happen, even if it doesn’t go in. You’ll get a rebound, start some chaos and we’ll try to do that a little bit more in Game 6.”

The Stars lost Game 1 of this series against the Wild in blowout fashion. Dallas then responded by winning the next two contests to take a 2-1 lead. However, they have since allowed the last two games to slip through their fingers.

Dallas fully expects to challenge for the Stanley Cup this season. Making the playoffs is certainly one step toward that goal. But a first-round exit would be a massive disappointment for a team with the sort of track record.

The Wild and Stars have everything left to play for, and both teams have little margin for error. These teams hit the ice on Thursday night in Minnesota for a crucial Game 6.
