Latest news

  • Bennett scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.

    Bennett hadn't logged a point in his last five games. His last contribution was a hat trick versus the Kraken on Oct. 17. That's not ideal for a player filling in as a top-line center, though Bennett's usage is more of a general top-six nature. He's struggled a bit this season with four goals, three assists, 39 shots on net, 32 hits, 11 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 15 appearances.

  • Bennett recorded a hat trick in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Kraken. The goals were his first this season.

    Bennett and Carter Verhaeghe both had hatties, marking the first time in franchise history that two players had hat tricks in the same game. Bennett's third goal was also his 400th career point (191 goals, 209 assists). It was his fourth career hat trick and third as a Panther, with the last one coming Jan. 14, 2022, in a win over the Stars.

  • Bennett (lower body) told reporters Thursday that he feels mentally and physically fresh ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

    Bennett ended last season on the shelf, missing the last three games. He had battled a couple of injuries late in the campaign, but he was still productive with a career-high 58 points over 76 appearances. The 30-year-old is in good shape for 2026-27 and should continue to center the Panthers' second line.

  • Bennett (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus the Red Wings, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Bennett will finish the season on the shelf, missing three straight games. His status for the start of the 2026-27 campaign isn't known yet, but he should be fine if he doesn't need to get surgery. He had a career year offensively in 2025-26 with 58 points in 76 outings.

  • Bennett (lower body) won't play against the Rangers on Monday, according to George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.

    Bennett will miss his second straight game, but he could be ready to return to the lineup in Florida's regular-season finale against Detroit on Wednesday. He has registered 26 goals, 58 points, 201 shots on net, 115 hits and 82 PIM over 76 outings this season.

  • Bennett (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Bennett will sit for the first time since March 29, which was the second game of a personal absence. If his injury is even a little bit of a concern, the Panthers may opt to shut him down for the remainder of the season.
