Matt Benning News
San Jose Sharks defenseman Matt Benning has undergone successful hip surgery and needs approximately five months to recover, meaning he won't feature again this season. Benning made his last appearance on Dec. 3, and he finishes the campaign with only 14 games played. The 29-year-old registered two assists, 13 shots on goal, 15 hits, and 29 blocks. This was the second season of a four-year, $5 million deal for Benning in San Jose.
Nashville Predators defenseman Matt Benning (upper body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and should be back in the lineup on Sunday against Philadelphia. The 27-year-old has sat out six consecutive games after getting hurt in a 6-2 win over Minnesota on Mar. 13. He's been a solid bottom pairing defenseman for Nashville, doing a little bit of everything for the team. Benning's work this season across 53 games includes 10 points, 68 hits and 58 blocks. He could play a bigger role than usual, with the team having lost Mark Borowiecki (upper body) and Dante Fabbro (upper body) to injuries in recent games.
