Chris Stewart is a right-winger. Gaudreau is a left-winger. It makes abundant sense to me why the coaches would like to see this combination for at least a shift or two, and it is NOT an indictment of the quality of Sam Bennett's recent level of play.

That is nonsense...
Ferland was also a LW until he got placed on that line. And if you have three of your best players on LW maybe you need to convert one of them. Why they didn’t convert Bennett to RW is another question, or why they don’t now.
It’s the stupid Right shot left shot thing all over again
I think many here are frustrated with the lack of lasting and true opportunity being afforded to Bennett that is seemingly given to many other lesser skilled players
