Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn left early in Wednesday's matchup against the New Jersey Devils with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Benn appeared to suffer the injury after taking a hard hit from New Jersey's Miles Wood. Wood was handed a five-minute major for interference on the play. The hit sparked an on-ice dustup between multiple players on both teams.

Head coach Jim Montgomery said after the game that Benn was held out for precautionary reasons. 

Benn had a goal in the first period before exiting. The Stars went on to win 5-4 behind two goals apiece from Miro Heiskanen and Tyler Seguin. 

The 29-year-old had 16 goals and 15 assists in 40 contests entering Wednesday's matchup. Dallas will be back in action at home against the Washington Capitals on Friday.
