He wasn't dynamic out there but I didn't see any glaring mistakes.
Curious what he did to get benched, unless Peters just decided to go 3 lines.

I think that was exactly it. Benched Ryan, Bennett, and Hathaway?
If you rotate Bennett in it probably causes more confusion for the changing hybrid line he's subbing on. Easier to bench an entire line than 1 or 2 players.
