EDGE Analysis

If ever there was a time to end a drought, a game like Sunday's would have been a good one, but Benoit was not involved in the scoring fun. The 26-year-old defenseman has remains a steady presence in the Maple Leafs' lineup for his physicality. Over 56 appearances, he has just four assists, but he's compiled 152 hits, 83 blocked shots and 37 PIM while playing in a bottom-four role.

Benoit was held off the scoresheet in all 11 of his appearances in January.

EDGE Analysis

Benoit's overall point drought is up to 12 games. He was also scratched twice in the middle of the month, but the Maple Leafs seem to value his physicality even if it comes with a complete lack of offense. For the season, the 26-year-old blueliner is at four assists, 31 shots on net, 28 PIM, 125 hits and 65 blocked shots over 47 appearances. Benoit has the upper hand on Philippe Myers and Conor Timmins to stay in a third-pairing role.

EDGE Analysis

The helper ended a 13-game slump for Benoit, who has been a fixture on the Maple Leafs' third pairing this season. The 26-year-old defenseman is up to four assists through 35 contests. He's added 23 shots on net, 28 PIM, 54 blocked shots and 95 hits. Benoit is unlikely to ever be a significant scorer, but he can add ample physicality in limited minutes.

Benoit has no points while recording 35 hits and 14 blocked shots over 12 contests in December.

EDGE Analysis

Benoit is a physical force on the Maple Leafs' third pairing, which has helped him to stay in the lineup. Offense isn't a big part of his playing style, which limits his fantasy value to banger formats. The 26-year-old is at three assists, 86 hits, 49 blocked shots, 26 PIM, 22 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 33 appearances.

Benoit produced an assist, two shots on goal and a game-high nine hits in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

It isn't unusual for Benoit to be ultra-physical, but his assist was the icing on the cake. He helped out on a Nicholas Robertson tally in the second period, which put the Maple Leafs ahead 3-0. Benoit has contributed three assists -- all over his last seven outings -- as well as 12 shots on net, 51 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 21 appearances this season.

Benoit recorded an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Benoit's second of the season over 16 games. The 26-year-old defenseman typically makes more of an impact with physicality than scoring, and that's been true in 2024-25 -- he has 31 hits, 28 blocked shots and 12 PIM. He's holding down a third-pairing role for now, though he could face pressure for playing time from Matt Benning or Philippe Myers in the short term, and he could be out of the mix entirely once Jani Hakanpaa (knee) is cleared to play.

Benoit notched an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

The helper was Benoit's first point in seven appearances this season. The defenseman has added a plus-3 rating, five shots on net, eight hits, eight PIM and 14 blocked shots. Benoit is known for his toughness, and he's done a passable job defensively to keep Philippe Myers in the press box.
