Seems like Benning's injury is being kept pretty quiet. I read that he passed the concussion tests right off, but that doesn't jive with why he's missed the last 8 games. Has anybody heard updates on his condition and likely return?
Klefbom and Bear both seem to be struggling with excess minutes, and a slightly stronger 3rd pairing would be advantageous to their ice time reduction.

When Matt Benning plays 14 minutes or more, the Oilers are 7-2-1 this year

When Matt Benning plays 14 minutes or more, the Oilers are 7-2-1 this year No Norris trophy, but I'd think Tippett would like to have him available to eat up some minutes. He's a + player again, so he does handle his (limited) role well. Rotten luck to come back from a concussion and get a stray puck off the helmet. I hope whatever it is that he can recover completely.

Agreed. On the other end, I think the word 'serviceable' might sell him a bit short. So, he's somewhere between serviceable and Norris. It's settled.

I admit that last year I was not a fan, but from the beginning of this season I was able to see what the management sees I him. It actually started near the end of last year. He showed that he was tougher than I had thought. Do I wish he was bigger or stronger, yes. However I now appreciate his toughness and his ability to get the puck out of danger. He is a perfect example of a player being used properly.
Has there been any word on his recovery?

Definitely concerning.

I have really liked the Russell/Benning bottom pairing combo this year. They can play and play well, hopefully he's back soon

Manning and Granlund on waivers. It was only a matter of when Is Benning coming back? If he is, who's 7D? Who's 13th forward now? Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk |

Jones would be our 7th dman. Makes no sense. Holland said he doesn't want prospects sitting in the press box. |
