How are both Spaling and Comeau ahead of Bennett for top six minutes? Are they still just waiting on Bennett to get his timing and conditioning back up before they put him up there? Or do they just really like how he plays with Sutter (they do, admittedly, often look pretty good together)?
I heard an interview with Bennett from the other week and he spoke about how much he likes skating with Sutter and Downie. Saying that they had good chemistry in the pre-season, and that the team needs that spark from the 3rd line.
I actually agree with that. The team needs the third line to really step up this season. Teams are spending such an effort to contain Sid and Geno's lines, so it makes sense to expect that third line to get out there and make a difference because they likely are going against bottom pairing d-men.
