4th in Scoring Chance %
2nd in High Danger %
Rinaldo is

This isn't "more shots", it's a sustained period of time where you're driving the play, generating more than the opposition and generally contributing to winning hockey games.

Rinaldo only played 6 games in that span and in 3 of them he hardly touched the ice so take any stats with a grain of salt. Of course his ice time also speaks to what the coaches believe.
Bennett seems a little more confident with the puck on his stick while Rinaldo does seem to give the team a jolt.
