Episode Details

The Florida Panthers defensive depth has been tested this season, with injuries forcing the use of eleven different defensemen, including twenty-five-year-old Mike Benning. Benning, a waiver-exempt player on a one-year deal, has made the most of his opportunity, playing five straight games and scoring his first NHL point in his debut. Known for his skating, puck-moving skills, and smart defensive play, Benning has impressed coach Paul Maurice and fans alike. Despite his size, he has shown promise and patience, having played one hundred eighty-two AHL games. With Charlotte eyeing AHL playoffs, Benning will likely return soon, but his strong finish has boosted his chances of making the team next fall.
