Yesterday's game was pretty much Sam Bennett in a nutshell. Played hard, generated offensive chances due to tenacity with the puck and forecheck, but then gave the other team an opportunity with a bad penalty that resulted in a goal.
Unfortunately, that's kind of how you have to treat Bennett. If you start neutering his play, he'll revert to regular season Sam Bennett where he's tentative and second guessing himself. With Bennett, you just have to take the bad with the good.
