Yeah Backlund has been a culprit too.
I have more time for an inadvertent high stick than a blatant hook to the hands or mid section though (for that game specifically)
Over the last two plus seasons only Rinaldo takes more minor penalties / 60 than Bennett. But he at least is way up the list drawing them too.
2018-19 to date leader board in PIM/60
1. Bennett 1.48/60
2. Hathaway 1.39/60
3. Valimaki 1.00/60 (way less minutes)
4. Frolik 0.94
5. Stone
6. Neal
7. Giordano
8. Kylington
9. Jankowski
10. Tkachuk
Backlund doesn't come in until 11th.
