Bennett was a -2 being on the ice for both the Ducks goals (not the empty netter).


If it was the regular season almost certainly Bennett would be sitting.
I don't agree.

The two goals you speak of had
a) Wideman doing the alley oop and Monahan losing his check
b) goal two had Bennett as the deepest forechecker and not responsible for Lindholm and his seeing eye shot

Video would point out he wasn't the guy on either goal and I'm pretty sure they look a little deeper than that stat line

Wolf was good, but didn't have the foot speed to do what he needs to do

Didn't think Raymond did a whole lot

I don't think Bennett has been lights out but I have a tough time coming up with a list of 12 ahead of him.
