Bennett got into the Blues lineup on Monday and got to play with Jaden Schwartz and Brayden Schenn, but only recorded just one shot in 12:19 TOI. With Bennett now in the AHL, look for Magnus Paajarvi to draw back in on Thursday.
Bennett, 25, was the No.20 overall pick in 2010 but has yet to produce like a first rounder, largely thanks to injury issues. Bennett had 19 points (8G / 11A) in 65 games with the Devils last year and has just 64 points (24G / 40A) in 194 career NHL games. Bennett will likely serve as a bottom-6 forward in St. Louis.
Bennett has missed the last nine games with a lower-body injury, but will replace Joseph Blandisi in the lineup on Thursday. Bennett has just 10 points (3G / 7A) in 40 games this season.
Bennett has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury and was moved to IR this morning so the Devils could claim Stefan Noesen off of waivers from Anaheim. There’s no timeline for Bennett’s return, so consider him as day-to-day.
Bennett was a healthy scratch on Saturday, but will replace Luke Gazdic in the lineup on Monday. Bennett has just two goals and six assists (eight points) in 34 games this season.
Bennett has no points in his last five games and has just seven points (1G / 6A) in 24 games this season. Luke Gazdic will replace Bennett in the lineup and Miles Wood will take his spot on the third line.
Bennett has missed the last three games with a leg laceration, but he is set to return on Tuesday. With Pavel Zacha (face) out, Bennett will likely slide onto the the third line. Bennett enters play with seven points (1G / 6A) in 20 games this season.
Bennett is dealing with a laceration on his right leg and will not play tonight in Winnipeg. With Bennett out, Jacob Josefson or the recently recalled Miles Wood will draw back into the lineup.
A week ago it looked as if Bennett was going to play with Taylor Hall and Adam Henrique. Today, he won’t even be in the lineup. Bennett was acquired from Pittsburgh this summer, but his Devils debut will have to wait.
The Devils will face the Islanders in a preseason game on Wednesday and Bennett will skate on the top line with Taylor Hall and Adam Henrique. Many expected Kyle Palmieri to skate there, but he is currently with Mike Cammalleri and Travis Zajac—a sign that Bennett will be given a true chance on the top line.
Bennett’s rights were acquired from the Penguins at the NHL draft and the Devils were successful in signing him to a one-year, “show me” contract. Bennett is a former first round pick, who has had a terrible time trying to stay healthy during his NHL career. He missed 49 games last year and 33 the year prior, but has shown flashes of a potential top-6 forward when he has managed to be on the ice.
Bennett has been out since January 23rd, but has skated recently and could return to the lineup on Thursday. He has 10 points (5G / 5A) in the 25 games that he has appeared in this season.
Bennett’s return to the lineup did not last long. He finds himself back on IR and won’t play until after the All-Star break. With Bennett out, the Penguins have recalled Scott Wilson from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).
Bennett has been out with an upper-body injury since December 14th, but will be back in the lineup this afternoon. Injuries have crippled Bennett’s career—he comes in with 10 points (5G / 5A) in 24 games this season.
