Benoit logged an assist in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Benoit ended an eight-game point drought with the helper. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to 10 points, 78 shots on net, 207 hits, 124 blocked shots, 58 PIM and a minus-29 rating through 74 appearances. He should close out the year in a regular bottom-four role, adding a physical presence to the Ducks' lineup.

Benoit had two assists in Anaheim's 7-4 victory over Columbus on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
This was Benoit's first multi-point game of the campaign, and he has three goals and nine points in 65 appearances overall. He's better known for his work without the puck, and he continued to show up in that regard Friday. Benoit remains Anaheim's 2022-23 leader in hits (182) and blocks (115) after recording three and two, respectively, against Columbus.

Benoit recorded an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Benoit entered Friday on a 16-game point drought, posting a minus-8 rating with 35 hits and 30 blocked shots in that span. He was able to snap the drought with the secondary helper on Derek Grant's empty-net goal with two seconds left in the game. Benoit is hardly a big scoring threat with seven points through 62 contests. He's added 172 hits, 108 blocks, 67 shots on net, 54 PIM and a minus-21 rating, though the physicality likely won't outweigh the lack of offense in fantasy.

Benoit has gone 14 games without a point.
EDGE Analysis
Benoit has a minus-9 rating, 31 hits, 26 blocked shots, 13 PIM and 11 shots on goal in that span. The 24-year-old defenseman picked up five of his six points this season in January, but that brief burst of offense has passed. He's added 166 hits, 102 blocked shots, 63 shots on net, 54 PIM and a minus-25 rating through 59 outings overall despite seeing regular time in a bottom-four role.

Benoit notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Benoit helped out on Adam Henrique's game-tying goal in the third period. It continues an improvement on offense from Benoit, who has earned five of his six points this season over the last 10 games. The physical defenseman has added 135 hits, 76 blocked shots, 52 shots on goal, 41 PIM and a minus-16 rating through 45 appearances.

Benoit scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Benoit has scored in back-to-back games, and all three of his tallies on the season have come in the last six contests. The 24-year-old defenseman appears to be getting more comfortable on offense, though it's his physicality that has made him a near-constant presence in the Ducks' lineup. He's at five points, 49 shots on net, 127 hits, 74 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-17 rating through 43 appearances.

Benoit scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Both of Benoit's goals this season have come in the last five games. His tally Thursday was a big one, pulling the Ducks level after they gave up the first three goals of the game. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to four points, 47 shots on net, 124 hits, 73 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-18 rating through 42 contests.

Benoit scored a goal on three shots, logged three hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Benoit tallied early in the third period, but it didn't spark a rally for the Ducks. This was his first goal of the season, and two of his three points have come in the last three contests. Offense is typically a secondary concern for the 24-year-old blueliner, who has racked up 107, hits, 64 blocked shots, 41 PIM, 39 shots on net and a minus-18 rating through 38 appearances.

Benoit produced an assist and doled out five hits in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Benoit ended a 24-game point drought dating back to Nov. 15. He helped out on a Mason McTavish tally in the second period Friday. Regular offense isn't a part of Benoit's playing style -- the 24-year-old is a physical presence in a bottom-four role for the Ducks. He has a pair of helpers, 103 hits, 61 blocked shots, 41 PIM, 35 shots on net and a minus-15 rating through 36 contests.

Benoit has no points and a minus-10 rating in his last 16 games.
EDGE Analysis
Benoit has been a regular presence in the Ducks' lineup, but he's produced virtually no offense. For the season, the 24-year-old blueliner has one assist in 27 contests. He's added 75 hits, 45 blocked shots, 37 PIM, 22 shots on net and a minus-11 rating as a physical and defensive presence on a struggling team.
