Have you considered that correlation =/= causation?
Maybe Bennett got more ice time in games where guys like Backlund and Tkachuk were already slumping, or in games where his PP unit failed to score a PP goal, extending his shift. Or maybe he got more ice time in games where puck management, not scoring, where instrumental in securing the W.
