Sam Bennett Won't Return Thursday
2 years agoFlorida Panthers center Sam Bennett (groin) will miss a 12th straight game as the team wraps up the regular season Thursday against Carolina. He's been out of action for three weeks and hasn't progressed as well as the team hoped. It's also unclear if Bennett will be ready to play at the start of the playoffs. The 26-year-old completes the season with 16 goals and 40 points in 63 games. He's been a big part of the top six, but the Panthers should be encouraged by the fact that they have played well without Bennett, going 6-4-1. Anton Lundell has filled the second-line center role in the most recent games.
