What's evolved in Bennett's game is his strength and tenacity on the cycle. He's using his speed and edge to his game to outwork opponents down low, where major credit has to be given to Jagr in rounding out this part of his game.
It gives the Flames offense a different look, with Gaudreau and Monahan being so prolific on the rush and in open ice, to then throw Bennett/Jankowski who are thriving with possession and the cycle game in the offensive zone.
It's still early days of this, but encouraging to see what could be a couple of long term duos for the Flames forward group.
