Impact Benning picked up his first point of the year when he set up Thomas Bordeleau's goal in the first period. The 29-year-old Benning is one of the most experienced members of the Sharks' blue line this year, so he should be a fixture in a top-four role.

Impact Benning will be back in action following a two-game absence due to his lower-body problem. It's been 58 straight games since the blueliner found the back of the net, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to tickle the twine any time soon.

For the season, he's at one goal, 22 helpers, 48 shots on net, 108 blocked shots, 89 hits and a minus-16 rating through 66 appearances.

Gets on scoresheet with helper Benning notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Red Wings.

Impact Benning saw 22:48 of ice time to cover for the absence of Dante Fabbro (undisclosed). Tuesday was just the fourth time this season Benning has played over 20 minutes. The 26-year-old blueliner has just three points, 44 hits, 36 blocked shots and 24 PIM through 38 contests, as he's mainly a defensive player. He's the only healthy right-shot defenseman on the Predators' roster currently, while Tyler Lewington is on taxi squad. Should Fabbro miss time, Benning would likely see first-pairing minutes.
