Beau Bennett News

Bennett has been out since December 14th, but he is on the ice for warmups, which suggests he will be back in the lineup this afternoon.

Bennett has been sidelined for over one month, but he was in practice on Friday and could return to the lineup on Saturday afternoon. If Bennett plays, expect Conor Sheary to come out of the lineup.

Bennett will miss at least one month with an upper-body injury that he suffered in Monday’s loss to the Capitals. With Bennett out, the Penguins only have 11 active forwards, so expect Bennett to go on IR and for Pittsburgh to recall a forward.

Bennett has missed the last five games with what is believed to be a concussion, but he will be back in the lineup tonight in Washington. Bennett was one of the Penguins most impressive players in the first three games, before he got hurt. He is expected to start on the fourth line, but head coach Mike Johnston said that Bennett will move up and down the lineup.

Bennett has missed the last five games with a concussion, but he was back at practice this morning and he is hoping to be cleared for Wednesday’s game in Washington. Bennett skated on the Penguins fourth line with Matt Cullen and Sergei Plotnikov.

Bennett has had durability issues throughout his young career and this is not the way he wanted to start the 2015-16 season. With Bennett going to IR, the Penguins recalled Tim Erixon from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).

The oft-injured Bennett is out again. Bennett has been one of the Penguins’ most effective players to start the season, but his durability issues will keep him out of the lineup tonight. With Bennett out, look for Bobby Farnham to make his season debut.

Bennett has just one goal in his last nine games and will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game tonight in Calgary.

Bennett was taking line rushes on the fourth line in the Penguins morning skate, which suggests that he will be a healthy scratch tonight in New Jersey. Bennett has just one goal in his last eight games.

Bennett, who has three assists in three games since returning to the Penguins lineup, was moved up to the second line on Tuesday. He skated with Evgeni Malkin and Nick Spaling today and should start the game there on Wednesday.

Bennett is expected to return tonight and activating him from IR all but guarantees that he will be back in the Penguins lineup tonight vs. the Hurricanes.

Bennett has been on the ice taking line rushes for the past two days, so it looks like a near certainty that he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Hurricanes. He has been sidelined since November 24th.

Bennett was on the ice for a third consecutive day this morning, but he is not ready to return to the lineup tonight. Bennett has been out since November 24th and it remains to be seen when he will be back. However, all signs are pointing towards him being back soon.

Bennett is already on IR with a knee injury, but now he also has mumps symptoms. Bennett can not catch a break. He just started skating again, so this will slow his recovery down.

Bennett will miss his fourth consecutive game with a lower-body injury that he suffered on November 24th. The Penguins have yet to release a timetable for Bennett’s return, but this afternoon they have moved him to IR to make roster room.

Penguins’ head coach Mike Johntson did not specify on the nature of Bennett’s injury, but it is believed to be his right knee. Bennett has had an extremely difficult time staying healthy in his young career. Expect Zach Sill to get back in the lineup tonight vs. the Leafs.

Bennett suffered an apparent knee injury on Monday night, but was able to return to the game. Bennett missed the start of the season with a knee injury, so this would be yet another tough break for the young forward. He will be evaluated over the course of the next day and a more detailed injury report should be released on Wednesday. He is considered questionable for tomorrow’s game vs. the Leafs.

Bennett, 22, had five assists in two games in his brief conditioning stint with WBS. The oft-injured Bennett has worked his way back from a knee injury suffered in training camp. Now that he is back, the goal will be to stay healthy for an extended period of time. There is a good chance he ends up on the second line with Evgeni Malkin and Pascal Dupuis, which would make him a nice pickup in standard leagues.

Bennett was cleared for contact on Monday, so he will head to WBS to practice and get a couple of games in on the weekend. Bennett has not played yet this season after suffering a knee injury in training camp. He could find himself in the Penguins top-6 upon his return to the lineup.
