I don't think what we're seeing is only because it's Playoff Bennett. I think it's because he's getting to play with the best linemates he's had in 4 years, with consistency, and he's playing centre (his natural position).
Think about how utterly baffling it is that Jankowski got to play centre all season despite being horrible.
Next season, Bennett being played at centre with solid linemates will be the big test for him. Give him consistency, give him quality linemates.
