Bennett has definitely turned a corner as far as play away from the puck is concerned. I think it's fair to argue that he's beginning to turn the corner with the puck as well. The other game he actually got used in OT and managed to draw a penalty (...which the Flames proceeded to not score on), but it's one of the many indicators that he's simplifying his game and getting back to driving the net. His screen on the Brodie goal from a few nights back was also nothing short of perfect.
If Ferland and Bennett can continue to simplify their games by getting themselves and pucks to the net, I like this team's chances going down the stretch.
