Bennett (upper body) is available for Wednesday's game against Boston, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett exited Monday's game against the Sabres due to an upper-body injury, but he's been cleared to suit up for the Panthers' penultimate game before the Olympic break. Over 16 appearances since the start of the calendar year, Bennett has recorded six goals, seven assists, 22 PIM, 20 hits and six blocked shots while averaging 19:28 of ice time.

Bennett exited Monday's game against the Sabres early with an upper-body injury and will not return.

EDGE Analysis

After skating just over five minutes in the first period, Bennett was ultimately ruled out before the start of the third period. The injury comes at a rough time for the 29-year-old center, who was in the midst of an 11-point, 12-game stretch and was a top candidate to potentially replace Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) on Team Canada, if Cirelli's injury is serious enough to keep him out through the Olympic break. Regardless, Bennett will have two chances to return to Florida's lineup before the Olympic break, with the first being Wednesday versus the Bruins. The veteran center can be considered day-to-day until the team provides further information.

Bennett scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett's tally at 13:11 of the third period forced overtime. The center has surged in January with six goals and five assists over 11 contests. For the season, he's up to 19 goals, 40 points, 133 shots on net, 99 hits, 56 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 50 appearances. Bennett has reached the 40-point mark in each of his five full years with the Panthers, and he's got his eyes on his career-best total of 51 points from 76 regular-season outings a year ago.

Bennett scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 2-1 shootout win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett has racked up five goals and four assists over his last nine contests. The center opened the scoring late in the second period. He's up to 18 goals, 39 points, 129 shots on net, 97 hits, 56 PIM and a minus-3 rating across 49 appearances this season. Bennett continues to be productive in a second-line role, and he remains on pace to set a career high in points for the season year in a row.

Bennett scored a goal, registered two assists, fired five shots on net, served two PIM and dished out two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett's strong stretch of play continued Saturday as he recorded two primary assists to go with his game-tying goal midway through the second period. Following his trio of points, the 29-year-old center now has 17 goals, 21 assists, 122 shots on net, 94 hits and 21 blocks through 47 appearances this season. Since Jan. 8, he has three multi-point performances across five contests. His sluggish start to the season is miles behind him as Bennett has excelled on the second line over the past six weeks. He remains a solid option in all fantasy formats and has an added boost in leagues that value category coverage.

Bennett dished out two assists, put four shots on goal, served two PIM and tallied two hits in Monday's 4-3 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett played a hand in both of the goals scored by his linemate A.J. Greer, including the empty-netter to add to the team's lead late in the contest. With the pair of helpers, Bennett is up to 19 assists, 35 points, 115 shots on goal, 91 hits and 21 blocks through 45 games this season. Since Dec. 6, the 29-year-old center has been on fire with 22 points, 58 shots on net and 40 hits across 19 games. The second-line center leads the Panthers in points during that span and is 11th across the entire NHL since then. He also remains on pace to best his career high in points, which he set in 2024-25 with 51 in 76 regular-season appearances. With the Panthers needing to sharpen their play down the stretch to earn a playoff spot in the Atlantic Division, Bennett will likely continue to lead by example, giving him a strong outlook in nearly all fantasy formats.

Bennett scored twice Thursday in a 6-2 loss to Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Since Dec. 17, Bennett has put up at least one point in 10 of his last 11 games (six goals, six assists). He sits third in team scoring this season with 33 points (16 goals, 17 assists) and 110 shots in 43 games. Bennett is on a career pace, and his impact in Florida is undeniable.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett opened the scoring 6:27 into the first period. With the goal, he extended his point streak to nine games (four tallies, six helpers). The 29-year-old center has locked in since the second half of November and is producing at about his peak level. He's up to 14 goals, 31 points, 104 shots on net, 85 hits, 19 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 41 appearances. The hot streak may not last, but another year of 50-plus points is looking probable.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett has been on a roll of late with five goals and seven points over his last six games.

With 22 shots over his last six contests, expect the 29-year-old to remain a key contributor on offense for the surging Panthers.
