THE BUZZ

The Hawks might dodge the Jamie Benn bullet again, with the Dallas center still rehabbing a wrist injury. Even if Benn plays, he would likely be less than 100%. Either way, Dallas was a tough opponent for the Hawks early on in "the streak," and will be again tonight.

Thursday night in Columbus, the Hawks went back to the same basic lineup that they started the season with—and withe the same results: a win. I would look for that lineup to continue tonight.
