I'm disappointed that for whatever reason, the coaching staff doesn't seem to give Bennett a shot to play with players that actually have some resemblance of skill. This game for one shift, Bennett was with Tkachuk and Backlund, and it actually had a decent shift with good pacing. You figure Peter's will give it another shot eh? Nope. I don't get it. You can't expect a player to be productive if their linemates are complete anchors.
There actually might be some unutilized production from Bennett that's not getting taken advantage of, and it's hurting the team.
