A self-proclaimed 185-pounder, Bennett also shoved aside Keegan Kanzig, six foot six and 248 pounds, in a race for the puck behind the net.

“I just hope I showed (observers) my skill set and my compete level,” said Bennett. “I definitely think that there’s a lot more to my game that I can still bring. I still hope to show a lot more.”

“Smart on the ice — he knows where everyone’s at,” Gaudreau, who turns 21 next month, said of Bennett. “He makes plays. Great shot. Great speed. Great vision. I can see why the Flames drafted him — he’s a great hockey player. And an even better guy off the ice. You can tell he’s going to be a great teammate from the second you meet him.

“That’s the kind of guys the Flames have been drafting. It’s good to see that.”

The tiny left-winger, who played every shift with the puck on his stick, orchestrated Bennett’s power play strike — a quick feed followed by a clinical finish.

“Unbelievable player,” Bennett said of Gaudreau. “Any chance I get to play with a player of that calibre, it’s pretty special. Unbelievable vision and he’s a smart hockey player. His skill set, it blows me away.”

“Two dynamic guys,” said Harrison. “(Gaudreau) slows the game down so easily. He just stops the puck and it’s a walk in the park for him. Then he just picks and chooses whenever he wants to give the puck. Incredible.”

From Bennett, drafted fourth overall last week in Philadelphia, there had also been plenty to admire.

He claimed that he needed a feeling-out period. Not that anyone noticed.

“Actually, the first couple shifts, I was amazed by the speed of the game,” said the Holland Landing, Ont., native. “I’m not used to it being that fast. It took me a couple shifts to get comfortable out there. Once I did, I felt pretty . . . confident.”
