Just had a look through the first period and maybe I wasn't giving bennett his due in that game as I came in late in the 1st period, but for the sake of discussion let's look at Dube and Bennett in back to back shifts:

How do you score that in terms of the advanced stats, and how do you score it in terms of play as a coach?
(what a pass by Janko) |
I see that segment of video as ...
Dube
1-0 CF
0-0 SCF
0-0 HDCF
Bennett (could be the same but for the sake of argument)
1-0 CF
1-0 SCF
1-0 HDCF
And I honestly like Dube's game don't get me wrong. I think he has more confidence with the puck than Bennett does at this point. But Bennett is creating when he's on the ice. Started last year and it's continued despite limited ice time.
This usually leads to a breakthrough, but with time piling on I honestly can't say for sure that it will for Bennett.
