from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,

Not only did Dallas lose for the third game in a row, but its two best players spent the final 12 minutes on the bench. That's how bad a 6-2 loss to the New York Rangers was.

"It's myself not leading the way," said captain Jamie Benn, who was benched after Viktor Stalberg's goal at 7:50 of the third period. "It was pretty much embarrassing, and I let my teammates down."

After being held off the score sheet in losses to the Devils and Islanders, linemates Benn and Tyler Seguin said they were hoping to lead a strong performance against the Rangers. Instead, both went minus-3 while pushing their scoreless streak to three games.

"They had a tough night, there's no getting around it," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "They had a lot of opportunities against, and by the end of the night, I just didn't play them anymore. They've had a tough trip, and we need those guys. They're going through a tough spell."
