He played perfect yesterday. If Ward takes him out of that spot next game, it’s on the coaching at that point.

Ward has a chance to make things better here - and as the coach, that is part of his job. He should tell Bennett "you've got 10 games on the top line, so just relax and play. Keep it simple, stay out of the box, and just play. And then we'll see where we are at."
That would diffuse things and give Bennett something to build on.
