Benoit (upper body) won't play versus the Golden Knights on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Benoit was listed as out of the lineup, but the injury was only revealed just before puck drop. The 27-year-old defenseman hasn't missed a game due to an injury yet this season, though he has been out for five contests (three scratches, one personal, one illness). Philippe Myers will draw in on the third pairing Thursday to cover Benoit's absence.
