Bennett with Monahan and Gaudreau have improved in recent games, but he has the poorest results with them season to date.

Hmmm - this has to be the reason. That’s a pretty big difference. It seems counter to the eye test, but I think people are forgetting how often the Monahan line gets stuck in their own zone, and maybe Bennett isn’t as big an asset as some think when it comes to that. You have to leave your own zone in order to get to the other.
