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.

Benoit notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Benoit has found some steady playing time since Jamie Drysdale (shoulder) went on injured reserve, appearing in nine straight games. The helper was Benoit's first point of the campaign, as he's still been limited to bottom-four minutes. The 24-year-old blueliner has added 32 hits, 11 blocked shots, 18 PIM and 10 shots on net with a minus-1 rating through 11 contests. It's unlikely he'll do enough on offense to get much interest in fantasy.

Benoit signed a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Ducks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Benoit drew into 53 games with Anaheim last year, picking up five points and a minus-5 rating while averaging just 14:05 of ice time per contest. The 23-year-old defender may have a slightly bigger role with the Ducks in 2022-23, but he almost certainly won't produce enough offense to be a useful fantasy option.

Benoit was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Benoit spent most of the NHL season with the Ducks, logging five points, 168 hits and 45 shots on net in 53 contests. He'll now head to San Diego to bolster the Gulls' roster for the AHL playoffs.

Benoit provided an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

The assist was Benoit's first point in 20 games, a dry spell stretching back to Feb. 19. The defenseman has been mostly a physical presence with almost no scoring upside this season. He has five points, 167 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 52 appearances.

Benoit has appeared in 15 of the Ducks' 23 games since the start of March.

EDGE Analysis

Benoit doesn't have a point in that span, amassing 46 hits, 19 shots on net, seven PIM and a minus-1 rating. The 23-year-old's playing time has dipped further in April, as he's appeared in just four of nine April contests. He'll likely be the one to sit once Urho Vaakanainen (illness) is ready to return. Benoit has only four points with 159hits, 38 blocked shots, 39 shots on net and a minus-5 rating in 50 contests this season.
