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.

Even his disallowed goal was pretty typical, no? A chance from a foot out that he kind of muscled in. That's my recollection of his stereotypical PO goals last year.
I'll say this - I've never thought Bennett's penalties were lazy. The opposite, actually.
