Brothers Jamie, Jordie Benn to play against each for first time when Stars visit Habs
MONTREAL — Jordie and Jamie Benn are about to live something neither has experienced before — playing against each other in an organized hockey game.
The brothers clashed plenty of times in road hockey games while growing up in Victoria, but they have only ever been teammates in games on skates and in official gear.
That will change Tuesday night when Jamie Benn’s Dallas Stars face Jordie Benn’s Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.
Jordie was traded to Montreal on Feb. 27 for defenceman Greg Pateryn and a fourth round draft pick after nearly seven seasons as Jamie’s teammate in Dallas.
