Sam Bennett News
Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's matchup against Boston. He's on the cusp of returning to the lineup after missing five games. Bennett recorded two points (one goal, one assist) in as many games before suffering an upper-body injury early into the postseason. If he's ready to return in Game 3 on Friday, Bennett is expected to replace either Steve Lorentz or Kyle Okposo in the Panthers lineup. He should resume his duties as the second-line center, with Anton Lundell moving down in the lineup.
Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett (upper body) will remain sidelined for Game 2 against the Bruins on Wednesday. Florida expects to get its second-line center back this week, but Bennett isn't quite ready to return just yet. Anton Lundell will continue to skate on the second line. The Finnish forward has played well in the postseason, collecting points in four of the last five games. Bennett's next chance to return comes on Friday in Game 3 of the series.
Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett (upper body) is nearing a return to the lineup, with the team expecting him back this week. After missing a fourth consecutive game due to an upper-body injury on Monday against Boston, Bennett was on the ice Tuesday for his first practice session with the team since getting hurt a couple of weeks ago. "He's closing in, he's close now," said Panthers head coach Paul Maurice on Tuesday. "It's one of the next three games for sure, I think." Once ready to return, Bennett should reclaim his usual spot on the second line, bumping Anton Lundell down to the third.
Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett (upper body) won't be available for the start of the second-round series against Boston. He was initially expected to be good to go for Monday's Game 1, but Panthers head coach Paul Maurice has officially ruled Bennett out, adding that he is considered day-to-day. The 27-year-old was sidelined for the final three games of the opening-round series against Tampa Bay. Before suffering an upper-body injury on April 23, Bennett notched a goal and an assist across the first two games of the series. Anton Lundell will continue to fill in for him as the second-line center on Monday.
