Bennett has the 13th highest (11th among forwards) xGF% (60.54%) in the NHL among players who've played 20+ games and is 1st on his team by a couple percent, which is a decent margin.
Only Duclair (4.49) is on the ice for more GF/60 at 5v5 than Bennett (4.47), and with Bennett on the ice at 5v5, the Panthers have an xGF/60 of 3.43, which is way better than any forward (Hornqvist is 2nd at 3.14).
Individually at 5v5, Bennett leads the Panthers in ixGF/60, iCF/60, iFF/60, iSCF/60 and is 2nd in iHDCF/60. Been a victim of not getting any secondary assists.
Anyone who hates on Bennett at this point is just making themselves look bad.
