Bennett wasn't having the strongest game but it was more of a Versteeg promotion than a Bennett demotion.
Jackets were zero forecheck, all neutral zone trap. They had a defenceman hanging back to retrieve dump ins while all the rest applied pressure on the strong side as soon as the Flames hit their blueline.
