  • Panthers' Sam Bennett: Deals assist in return

    Bennett notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Devils.

    Bennett missed Tuesday's game against the Devils due to an injury concern that tightened up on him prior to the contest. It's unclear if this issue will be an ongoing one or if he's fully moved past it. The 28-year-old has been one of the Panthers' most important forwards in 2024-25, racking up nine goals, seven assists, 49 shots on net, 35 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 16 contests. Bennett should be locked in as the second-line center when he's available.

  • Panthers' Sam Bennett: Good to return Thursday

    Bennett (upper body) is set to play Thursday against New Jersey, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

  • Panthers' Sam Bennett: Considered game-time decision

    Bennett (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against the Devils, Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Bennett was unavailable for Tuesday's game against New Jersey due to an upper-body injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up in Thursday's rematch. If he's unavailable Thursday, Jesper Boqvist is a candidate to remain in a top-six role.

  • Panthers' Sam Bennett: Questionable for Thursday

    Bennett (upper body) is improving but remains in doubt ahead of Thursday's clash with New Jersey, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Head coach Paul Maurice told reporters they would have to see how Bennett is feeling at Thursday's game-day skate, so don't be surprised to see the winger labeled a game-time decision prior to puck drop. Through 15 games this season, the 28-year-old Ontario native is converting at a point-per-game pace, registering nine goals and six helpers, including four power-play points. If Bennett can't play Thursday, look for Jesper Boqvist to remain in a top-six role.

  • Panthers' Sam Bennett: Not playing Tuesday

    Bennett (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Devils.

    Bennett played 15:14 in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flyers, so it's unclear when he sustained the injury. His absence is a big one for the Panthers -- Bennett has 10 points over his last nine outings. Mackie Samoskevich will enter the lineup and Anton Lundell is projected for a larger role to cover Bennett's absence.

  • Panthers' Sam Bennett: Hands out helper

    Bennett notched an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Predators.

  • Panthers' Sam Bennett: Lights lamp in fifth straight

    Bennett produced a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

Bennett appears locked into a spot in Florida's top six, and he's flying toward a career-best campaign with 12 points already, a pace that would shatter the mark of 49 points (28 goals, 21 assists) he amassed over 71 regular-season games in 2021-22.

The center is tied for fourth in goals early in the season with six over nine contests, and he's added three assists, 33 shots on net, 24 hits, eight PIM and a minus-1 rating.

    Bennett recorded a team-high six shots in a 4-3 victory over Boston on Monday but failed to find the back of the net.

    Despite not scoring, Bennett put together a strong display with his six shots while moving into a first-line role due to the absence of Aleksander Barkov (lower body). Considering the 28-year-old Bennett recorded three goals through the opening three games of the 2024-25 campaign, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be too concerned that Bennett is cooling off.

    Bennett scored a power-play goal on three shots with one hit and a minus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres.
