Bennett had a goal and an assist vs the Coyotes... No points vs the Avs. He did play with some jump however anyone getting bumped up to the top line would. I don't get why so many think he's had this long standing impressive stretch where it's unfathomable he is removed from the top line. Maybe GG didn't like his D game? Maybe GG is playing the odds that Stewart will get a jolt from the opportunity to play top line and that will go a long ways in Stewart playing hard the rest of the season. Bennett is also a C/LW. The position on the top line available is RW. He was there as a band aide solution IMO. If he's doing as well as most think, being on a different line helps with balance. I'm more than willing to see how these proposed lines play out. It was bound to happen at some point, this just gets Stewart engaged right away.
