Notches helper in loss Bennett registered a power-play assist in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss against the Rangers.

Impact Bennett had the primary helper on Carter Verhaeghe's power-play goal in the first period of Friday's loss to tie the game. It was the only goal for Florida and the game went to overtime -- Bennett had more ice time as a result, although he's been deployed on the third line lately. The 27-year-old has three goals, three assists and an even plus-minus rating in eight playoff contests.

Impact Bennett was held off the scoresheet in consecutive games prior to helping seal the win for Florida in Game 1. He added five shots, three hits and a plus-1 rating in 13:17 of ice time. Bennett's ice time will be something to monitor going forward -- he's currently centering Florida's third line after playing most of the regular season on the second line with Matthew Tkachuk. Bennett is up to five points (three goals) in seven contests so far this postseason.
