If not for a 4 point outburst last night we're talking about a pretty mediocre 11 points in 18 games. One could easily point out that 8 of those points have come in 3 games against inept teams like the Coyotes, Oilers and Canucks (who are decimated by injuries) as well.
Thankfully Sam is looking like a very different player since he was finally put back on the wing but it is way too early to suggest he has turned the corner and is now back on track to being the elite player he was drafted to become. The next 15-20 games will tell the story of Sam Bennett IMO. If he can sustain his play and continue to produce at a decent level, this conversation becomes much more valid with a decent sample size as a winger to draw from.
