EDGE Analysis

Benson notched the go-ahead goal in Monday's contest just under two minutes into the final period. With his game-winning score, the 20-year-old winger is up to four goals, 17 points and 48 shots on net through 25 appearances this season. After going 17 games without scoring a goal, he has four over his last eight games, which has been one of the best totals during the team's nine-game win streak. While he sat out the majority of November due to a lower-body injury, his high level of play lately is helping salvage his chance to set a new career high in points. With over half the season to go, he is just 13 points away from tying the 30 points he had in 71 regular-season games during his 2023-24 rookie campaign. Benson offers strong streaming value in fantasy with his contributions at the heart of Buffalo's recent success.

He's up to three goals, 16 points, 41 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 22 appearances. Benson's appeal is limited in a third-line role, but the Sabres' lineup is far from settled, and he'll be more intriguing if he finds himself in a top-six spot eventually.

EDGE Analysis

The goal was Benson's first of the campaign. He's dealt with a couple of injuries this year, which has limited his effectiveness as he tries to find a rhythm.

He's now at a total of 12 points, 32 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 18 appearances.

Overall, Benson has 11 assists and 21 shots on goal through 13 games this season. While he's yet to find the back of the net this season, the 20-year-old winger currently finds himself alongside two of the team's best goal scorers, Norris and Tage Thompson, on the top line. Benson has recorded an assist in over half of the games he's played this season and is a solid streaming option in fantasy when healthy. Look for the promising winger to challenge his career high of 30 points, which he set in the 2023-24 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Benson missed the first 10 games of November due to a lower-body injury. The 20-year-old saw 16:56 of ice time Sunday despite being listed on the third line, so it's safe to assume he'll be getting ample ice time moving forward. He's produced nine helpers, 17 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over nine appearances this season, but a couple of injuries have limited his availability, and he'll need to stay healthy to help fantasy managers.
