Sam Bennett Feels Mentally and Physically Fresh Heading Into Training Camp

Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett told reporters Thursday that he feels mentally and physically fresh ahead of the 2026-27 campaign after ending last season on the shelf due to a couple of late-season lower-body injuries. The 30-year-old is in good shape and should continue to center the Panthers' second line, having produced a career-high 58 points over 76 appearances during the previous season.
