I'm not saying that Bennett doesn't own his penalties under Gulutzan. But he is put in puck battles along the boards on dump ins in this system, rather than carrying the puck with speed and trying to make things happen with his skill. Most of his penalties come on those puck battles that weren't employed in Hartley's system.

Players still took dumb penalties under the previous coach, but they didn't take as many of these "could be called on every shift" type penalties because they were not instructed to play that way.

Now whether that is a valid choice is up for discussion.

but Bennett has had a season with relatively few penalties.
