Penguins/NHL
Per reporters on the scene, Beau Bennett is expected to be benched tonight in place of Mark Arcobello.
Bennett didn’t take any line rushes and is the last player on the ice with Thomas Greiss which means he’s scratched tonight.
Bennett was invisible against the Capitals Wednesday night and his struggles in tight checking games is said to have been drawing frustrations from Penguin coaches. Bennett has 3 goals and 8 points in 19 games this season.
Arcobello will play on the third line with Max Lapierre and Steve Downie.
