Bennett scored twice in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
His point streak is at a modest two games and three points (two goals, one assist). Bennett's fantasy potential was far greater in Pittsburgh than New Jersey. Just saying.

Bennett picked up his fourth goal of the season in Saturday's 5-4 loss against the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett has managed a point in back-to-back games for just the third time this season. He still has managed just three goals and 13 points. Bennett has the potential to be an above-average scorer in this league, but the light hasn't gone off just yet. As such he is a bottom-six forward with very little in the way of fantasy appeal.

Bennett (lower body) will return to the lineup for Thursday's home tilt against Ottawa, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The oft-injured Bennett has missed New Jersey's last nine games and will skate on the fourth line in his return. A former first-round pick, Bennett possesses above-average offensive abilities despite what his stats indicate, but hasn't proven to be effective as a bottom-six forward in his five NHL seasons.

Bennett (lower body) is expected to return at some point this coming week, per coach John Hynes, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's missed the past seven games at a critical time where the Devils have been trying to groom him into a full-time player. In 40 games, the former Penguin has added three goals with seven assists and a minus-4 rating.

Bennett (lower body) was placed on injured reserve -- retroactive to Jan. 20 -- on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The looming All-Star break will afford Bennett extra time to heal. He dealt with a leg injury in early December, only to sustain a separate lower-body ailment upon blocking a shot in a game against the Canadiens last Friday. Still, as bottom-six forward who's been averaging one point every four games, the development of Bennett going on IR shouldn't cause much of a stir in the fantasy realm.

Bennett (lower body) won't play in Tuesday's matchup with Los Angeles, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old will miss his second-straight game as the result of blocking a shot Friday. With 10 points in 40 games, owners in most leagues should steer clear, especially given the injury.

Bennett will not play Saturday night against the Flyers as he's dealing with a lower-body injury, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The report notes that Bennett is feeling the effects of blocking a shot in Friday night's game against the Habs. Luke Gazdic is likely to be in the starting lineup as a reinforcement option on the fourth line. Consider Bennett to be day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's home game versus the Kings.

Bennett was scoreless with two shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 loss against the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett entered the game with a goal, assist and plus-2 over the past two outings, but he was unable to extend his modest streak. He is a light scorer who doesn't contribute positively in many scoring categories. Penalty minutes are the area he can help fantasy owners in the deepest of formats.

Bennett was activated off injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett landed on IR in late November with a leg injury but after missing just three games, he's set to return to the Devils' lineup. The 25-year-old right winger has never managed more than 14 points in any season during his five-year NHL career but prior to hitting the shelf, he had tallied seven in his last 13 games. His first opportunity to return to NHL action will be a home matchup Tuesday against the Canucks.

Bennett (leg) has been cleared to return to action, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett technically remains on injured reserve, with the team required to make a roster move in order to activate him for Tuesday's meeting with Vancouver. Injuries have plagued the winger throughout his career, although it appears he will miss just three games with this latest ailment. In 20 outings this season, the 25-year-old has managed just one goal to go with his six assists, certainly less than fans and fantasy owners were expecting in his first season in New Jersey.
