Bennett's comically snakebitten right now. It's obvious his confidence is shot, and even then he should have a few points by now. He's still played a part in a handful of goals that likely don't go in without him, even if he didn't touch the puck.
Some examples:
Brodie's 2nd against Winnipeg likely doesn't go in if Bennett's not at the net.
Gaudreau's beauty against Winnipeg doesn't happen without Bennett starting that forecheck and drawing Trouba away from Gaudreau.
Hamilton's goal vs Vancouver doesn't happen without Bennett forcing a turnover from Stecher (or possibly without his screen).
And very recently:
A great save by Rinne takes away what was shaping up to be our best goal of the year.
Mark Jankowski currently has the best possession stats on our team (59% CF%, 75% xGF%), and he's done it with Bennett on his wing. For all the complaining about our lack of depth scoring, you'd think we'd consider keeping a 3rd line that has actually looked good against two very good teams in Nashville and St. Louis.
Fun fact: Bennett and Tkachuk have practically identical xGF/60 rates (2.35 vs 2.34). In other words, we're generating dangerous shots at identical rates with Bennett on the ice compared to Tkachuk on the ice. However, Tkachuk's line has had 7 go in, compared to only 2 for Bennett.
