This is why we have to be careful about drawing conclusions from stats. It has been posted a few times that the Flames' record is better when Bennett plays fewer minutes. Okay, what can we conclude from that? It implies that he is a disaster, and the less he plays, the better off the team is.
In reality however, he is one of the players who's ice time is reduced in the last 10 minutes when they have a lead. As a result, in games they win, he gets less ice time.
