"I definitely watched it after. Even if I score, I don't want to get that excited. Guys who score a lot know what they're doing. When I score, I'm just thankful it went in," he cracked.
Benn didn't score last night, but he was the author of a perfect centering pass that Tomas Tatar tapped home late in the third period to give the Habs the win and end their four-game winless streak.
The play was just one more sign that the 31-year-old rearguard is playing some solid hockey this season.
"Every year, you're just trying to get better," outlined Benn, who has four goals, 11 assists, and a plus-10 differential in 59 games. "The tough years you have like last year, you just have to learn from it. Every guy here, we've all gone through slumps. It's a sport; there are ups and downs. You just have to learn from the downs and try and ride the ups as long as you can."
