EDGE Analysis

Benoit's NHL debut will have to wait, as he was a healthy scratch during Sunday's loss to Edmonton. The 21-year-old blueliner has recorded two points, seven PIM and a minus-2 rating over nine AHL games, and he'll likely remain in bus league unless an injury surfaces at the top level.
