ZACH BENSON NEWS

Adds empty-netter Benson scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Benson has scored in back-to-back games. The 20-year-old looks to be finding his scoring touch after failing to score in his first 17 outings this year. He's produced 13 points, 34 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 19 appearances. If Benson can stay healthy, he'll have appeal as a depth winger in fantasy.

Nets first goal of campaign Benson scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact The goal was Benson's first of the campaign. He's dealt with a couple of injuries this year, which has limited his effectiveness as he tries to find a rhythm. He has just four points over his last nine outings while primarily seeing middle-six usage since returning from a lower-body issue. He's now at a total of 12 points, 32 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 18 appearances.

Adds two assists Monday Benson dished out two assists in Monday's 5-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Benson recorded his second multi-assist effort of the season Monday with the secondary helper on Josh Norris' goal in the first period before he later slid the primary assist to Norris for his tally in the third. Overall, Benson has 11 assists and 21 shots on goal through 13 games this season. While he's yet to find the back of the net this season, the 20-year-old winger currently finds himself alongside two of the team's best goal scorers, Norris and Tage Thompson, on the top line. Benson has recorded an assist in over half of the games he's played this season and is a solid streaming option in fantasy when healthy. Look for the promising winger to challenge for a new career high in points this season if he can surpass the 30 tallies he had in the 2023-24 campaign.

He's produced nine helpers, 17 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over nine appearances this season, but a couple of injuries have limited his availability, and he'll need to stay healthy to help fantasy managers.
