Benn missed Monday's practice with an illness but will be in the lineup vs. the Maple Leafs. With Alexander Edler out, Benn has played big minutes on the Canucks blueline and comes in with an assist in three straight games.

Benn has been held pointless in the last 14 games and will come out of the lineup with Joe Morrow taking his spot on the blueline.

Benn has not recorded a point but has 11 shots, five blocks and two hits while averaging 17:29 TOI/GM through the first five games of the season. His scratching likely has more to do with the Canadiens wanting to see what they have in Joe Morrow than it does with Benn playing poorly. Benn has posted a 62.7 CorsiFor% and a 7.1 relative Corsi so far, so they can’t be expecting much more out of him from a puck possession perspective.

A day after being acquired from the Dallas Stars, Benn will make his Montreal debut tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. Benn is a solid two-way defenseman, but comes in with just 15 points (2G / 13A) in 58 games this season. Expect him to serve a big role on the Canadiens’ penalty kill—he averaged 2:30 TOI per game with Dallas.

Benn has registered two goals and 13 assists (15 points) in 58 games with the Canadiens. Greg Pateryn has expressed his displeasure with the Canadiens because he wasn’t getting any playing time, so they’ve moved him and a draft pick for Benn.

Benn picked up an assist in both of the first two games of the season, but will come out of the lineup for Jamie Oleksiak on Tuesday.

Unlike his brother Jamie, Jordie Benn is not known for his offence. The 28-year-old blueliner had just three goals and nine assists (12 points) in 64 games with the Stars in 2015-16. Carrying just a $1.1M cap-hit, the Stars have a solid third pairing defenseman for next to nothing.

Benn has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury and will remain sidelined for at least two more contests. With Benn out, Patrick Nemeth will remain on the Stars’ blueline.

Benn missed Thursday’s game with a lower-body injury, but was reportedly feeling better on Friday. Despite that fact, he remains questionable for Saturday’s game. He has just nine points (1G / 8A) in 41 games this season.

With Benn drawing out, Jaime Oleksiak would slide back in. Benn has one assist and is a minus-2 in his last eight games.
