With nine seconds left in Dallas’ finale against Nashville, Benn notched his fourth point of the night -- an assist on Cody Eakin’s 19th goal of 2014-15 -- to win this year’s Art Ross Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL player who leads the league in scoring.
Benn, 25, finished his sixth NHL campaign with 87 points -- just barely edging John Tavares (86) and Sidney Crosby (84). The talented left wing closed out the year with 10 points in his final three contests.
Prior to that trophy-clinching helper, Benn scored a hat trick that allowed Dallas to end a tumultuous season on a high note. It also sent Nashville to the playoffs on a six-game losing streak.
