Benn leads Stars past Flames (Yahoo! Sports)

The Dallas Stars remember the life of former NHL player Karlis Skrastins before an NHL game against the Calgary Flames in Dallas, Saturday, March 24, 2012. Skrastins was a member of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team when the Latvian native died in a plane crash in Russia last September en route to a Kontinental League game in Minsk. The Stars have been wearing No. 37 patches on their uniforms this season in honor of Skrastins, who played two full seasons in Dallas.

Jamie Benn scored twice, Kari Lehtonen made 35 saves, and the Dallas Stars beat the Calgary Flames 4-1 on Saturday in a matchup of Western Conference playoff contenders. Michael Ryder also scored for the Stars, who improved to 87 points and are in the middle of a six-team scramble along with the Flames (83 points) for one of the final two playoff spots.
