He was then selected in the NHL Entry Draft 2007 in the fifth round as a total of 129th player by the Dallas Stars .

With 33 points in 19 playoff games, he played a major role in this success and was therefore the top scorer in the WHL playoffs.

He then received a contract with the Dallas Stars before the 2009/10 season , for which he made his debut in the National Hockey League on October 3, 2009 in the home game against the Nashville Predators .

For the duration of the NHL lockout in the 2012/13 season he played with the Hamburg Freezers in the German Ice Hockey League . In January 2013, he agreed with the stars on a five-year contract extension for a total reported salary of $ 26.25 million.

In the run-up to the 2013-14 season , Benn was named the sixth team captain in the history of the franchise . In the 2014/15 season he scored a hat trick in the last game of the season against the Nashville Predators and also contributed a goal assist to his team's 4-1 victory eight seconds before the end, so that he had 87 points and one point ahead of John Tavares prevailed by the New York Islanders and won the Art Ross Trophy as the best points player of the regular season. Despite this success, Benn could not help his team into the play-offs and retired with the stars after the main round. At the beginning of the 2015/16 season, the Canadian built on his achievements from the previous year and scored 17 points in the first eleven games, making him NHL Player of the Month for October. In July 2016, the Stars renewed his contract, with the attacker earning an average annual salary of $ 9.5 million over the next eight seasons. This makes him one of the highest paid players in the NHL.
