Jamie Benn plays through broken nose after Dmitry Orlov high stick

Playing through injuries is a tired narrative in hockey, but Jamie Benn shrugged off a big one.

The Dallas Stars forward suffered a broken nose when Washington Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov caught him with a high stick late in the second period Saturday night, according to Mark Stepneski of the Stars' official website.

Orlov was assessed a four-minute minor for the play, and Benn was seen sporting some new headgear when he returned.

Benn played nine shifts in the third period, but did not appear in the overtime session.
