Pots goal in loss Benson tallied a goal in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Benson scored the lone goal of Monday's second period to level the game at two goals apiece. With the twine finder, the 20-year-old winger now has five goals, 20 points and 61 shots on net through 31 games this season. After a quiet start to the calendar year, he has three points over his last two games and is trending upward offensively. He should maintain a middle-six role and a spot on the team's second power-play down the stretch, giving him fantasy value in deep leagues moving forward.

Garners two assists in win Benson recorded two assists and five shots on net in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.

Impact Benson had been limited to two goals over nine games since his last multi-point effort. The 20-year-old winger is currently in a third-line role and on the second power-play unit, so he's unlikely to reach his full potential until he gets a larger share of ice time. He's now at 19 points, 60 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 30 appearances this season, putting him on track for a career year.
