Sam Bennett Sits Out Wednesday's Game
22 seconds agoFlorida Panthers center Sam Bennett (illness) will not play against Minnesota on Wednesday. According to Panthers head coach Paul Maurice, Bennett played through an illness on Monday versus Edmonton and still feels under the weather. Bennett centered the first line on Monday due to Aleksander Barkov's (illness) absence. Barkov is regarded as a game-time decision for Wednesday's action but appears to be on track to return versus the Wild. With Bennett out, Anton Lundell will continue to work as the second-line center. He had a two-assist outing in the role in Monday's 6-5 win, ending a six-game point drought.
