Asked about the performance of his depth forwards in a 4-3 loss to the New York Rangers, he was curt.

“Our third line … I didn’t see them,” he spat, before making a quick exit from Madison Square Garden for a Saturday off in Manhattan.

Gulutzan’s post-game displeasure Friday also included calling Bennett’s costly holding penalty late in the game “dumb.” The infraction led to the Rangers’ winning goal. To be fair, Bennett’s penchant for bad penalties had been curbed of late.

The coach’s confidence in them is dwindling, as is reflected in their diminished icetime.
