The best thing the Calgary Flames can do to help Sam Bennett find his groove is to move him from centre to the wing.
The second best thing they can do is sit him down for a game or two, which they finally did Thursday night.
For the first time in the young man’s career he was a healthy scratch, ending a stretch of ten games in which he had no points and was minus-5.
His most significant contributions during that span were the five minors he had, adding to the long list of undisciplined penalties he’s uncharacteristically accrued throughout this frustrating season.
