The Devils placed Bennett (leg) on injured reserve retroactive to November 28 on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett hasn't been very productive in his first season with the Devils, tallying seven points (one goal, six assists) with a minus-3 rating over 20 games, so his absence likely won't be felt by many fantasy owners. The 25-year-old winger will be eligible to return to New Jersey's lineup Tuesday against the Canucks, but he'll need to be activated off IR before returning to game action.

Bennett is day-to-day after sustaining a laceration to his leg in practice Monday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports, adding that the winger did not accompany the team to Winnipeg for Tuesday's contest.
EDGE Analysis
When healthy, Bennett hasn't been too big a factor in his debut season with the Devils. The former Penguin has one goal and six assists to his name through 20 games, plus he's struggling to a minus-3 rating and a career-low 2.8 shooting percentage. It remains to be seen who will replace him in the top six and second unit for the man advantage.

Bennett scored a power-play goal and recorded three shots on net during Wednesday's win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
It was Bennett's first goal of the season, as the former first-round pick continues to disappoint despite a fresh start with New Jersey. There could be some fleeting appeal in daily contests or cavernous seasonal leagues, but Bennett's fantasy value will likely remain extremely limited.

Bennett chipped in with two helpers in Sunday's win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett skated on a line with Michael Cammalleri, who had a had trick on the night. Bennett hasn't had a ton of success since coming over from Pittsburgh, registering just three assists in 10 games with his new team. The 24-year-old is capable of being a decent depth scorer, but injuries are always the concern with him, as he's never played 50 games in a season. If he can stick with Cammalleri and build off his 13:49 of ice time Sunday, he could be worth adding in some deeper formats.

Bennett played just 11:36 Tuesday against the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Only Reid Boucher and Vernon Fiddler saw less ice time. The 25-year-old winger is yet to earn the coaching staff's trust after coming over from Pittsburgh in the offseason.

Bennett signed a one-year, $725,000 contract with the Devils on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett appeared in 33 games with the Penguins last season, notching 12 points (six goals, six assists) and 52 shots on goal over that span. The 24-year-old winger has struggled with injuries throughout his young career, a trend he'll hope to buck with his new club next season. The 2010 first-round pick will likely begin the 2016-17 campaign in a bottom-six role with the Devils.

Bennett will not be receiving a qualifying offer from the Devils, making him a free agent, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett was just traded to New Jersey on Saturday, so he and the Devils will likely look to restructure a new contract for his impending tenure with the team. The 24-year-old made 33 appearances for Pittsburgh last season, posting a total of six goals and six assists.

Bennett has been traded to the Devils in exchange for a third-round pick at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett is talented, but he struggles to stay healthy. It's too early to say his game is on life support, but the former first-round pick just hasn't been able to carve out a role befitting his skillset. He toiled on a checking line in Pittsburgh in 2015-16 and played in just 33 games (six goals, six assists). He got into a single postseason game and while the Pens won the Cup, Bennett might not even get his name engraved on it given his limited ice. The Devils will give him a chance to show off his skills. Otherwise, he's just another journeyman, bottom-six forward.

Bennett (undisclosed) has been cleared for game action and is expected to rejoin the lineup for Game 5, Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
It hasn't been announced who the winger will sub in for but he's expected to make his 2016 playoff debut. Bennett collected 12 points in 33 games this season, but it's unlikely he will contribute enough to be considered a big-time fantasy prospect.

Bennett is dealing with an undisclosed injury and has yet to be cleared to return to action, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett has yet to suit up in the playoffs and has missed 10 games dating back to early April. While the 24-year-old told reporters he still hasn't been medically cleared, he did not rule out the possibility of stepping in for Bryan Rust (lower body) who left Game 3 after blocking a shot. If neither guy is ready, look for Oscar Sundqvist to slot into the lineup for Game 4 on Wednesday.
