Bennett looks to snap scoring slump as Panthers host Red Wings
Sam Bennett and the Panthers host the Red Wings tonight at Amerant Bank Arena looking to spark their offense. Florida enters as a solid home favorite in an average scoring environment, likely facing Daniil Tarasov (confirmed) in net for Detroit. With Aleksander Barkov sidelined, Bennett continues to anchor Florida’s top line between Brady Tkachuk and Matthew Tkachuk, though he remains on the second power-play unit. While Bennett has hit a cold stretch with zero points across his last five outings despite firing 13 shots on goal, his premier even-strength assignment keeps his fantasy baseline solid.
Our daily projection anticipates a bounce-back effort from Bennett, forecasting around ~1 point with ~2–3 shots on goal, adding up to roughly 3.3 fantasy points. His high-compete style also yields reliable peripherals in hits and faceoff wins, even if secondary power-play time slightly caps his ceiling. Looking ahead at this week’s schedule, Florida plays four total games, and our models project approximately 9.5 fantasy points across that span. With three more games remaining after tonight and elite linemates beside him, he is worth trusting in active lineups. Today’s action: Start.
