Dirt-cheap defenseman takes on struggling penalty kill
Nothing will stand out about Matt Benning, but at a punt price across the industry, Benning emerges as a great source of salary relief from the blueline tonight. Benning has been quarterbacking the Edmonton Oilers' top power play unit in recent games, and a home date with a Flyer team that allowed a league-high 14 power play goals last month presents a great opportunity for the young defenseman. Matt has taken 12 shots on goal in his last four games which provides a reasonable baseline, and while the points haven't exactly come for Benning, he has been logging 20-plus minutes recently, which is a significant increase in his ice time at the start of the season.
