Matt Benning Sent To Bakersfield Condors For LTI Conditioning | Edmonton Oilers News
Matt Benning has been sent to the Bakersfield Condors for a week long LTI conditioning stint aimed at getting him 100% ready to return to the Edmonton Oilers lineup! #Oilers #EdmontonOilers #MattBenning #OIlersNews #BenningNews
Defencemen get hurt. They block a lot of shots, the check, their focus is getting in the way of scoring opportunities. It's a fact of life. Having another good D man helps, a lot. Figuring out who's on and who's in Bakersfield is something the coach and GM have to figure out. Great news and analysis as always. Enjoy the tea.
Boy, this is gonna REALLY help our defensive game while he's down here. Benning is definitely an NHL defenseman, and it'll help some of our younger guys (Bouchard, Samorukov, Day, hell, even Kulevich) to get better, since he will be here for about a week.
Also, I have NO idea why it's a 3PM start against Ontario. Maybe to give them time to get back?

Another hidden blessing is he will be in game shape because he will be playing during the all star break but creates a logjam on defence
