Whether he busted his ass or glided, this is what I see when the play was at its
most dangerous:
At that moment, the optics of whether he was skating at 110% or glided.. are just that -
OPTICs.
I am not defending Bennett's read or effort there, but at the end of the day, if you backcheck well
enough for the odd man rush to look like this, I don't think you should not be given another shift, especially when you literally finish the night with the most shots on your entire team even strength, despite missing an entire period.
If you want an idea of a truly poor effort on that play? There was a forward in the D zone (Lucic?) who went off the ice for a line change while the Oilers had full possession of the puck. I'm willing to bet that forward got shifts in the rest of the game.

Did he look engaged in the play to you?

He looked no less engaged than Hanifin, Valimaki, Lucic, Dube?
