  Benning (hip) is expected to be healthy to start training camp, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

The 30-year-old blueliner will be in the running for a bottom-four role in training camp, while the Sharks' offseason additions of Jake Walman and Cody Ceci creates more competition among the team's veterans on defense.
