Maybe Sam Bennett can’t do a pull-up.
But man, the kid knows how to throw his fists around.
After Mike Smith was upended by Derek Grant behind his own net, somehow Bennett and Josh Manson (quite the physical specimen) came together.
The Vegas line would have heavily favored Manson. Bennett was clearly the underdog.
But then Bennett did this (keep your eye on the fight to the right):

What a scrap, indeed.
Not only can Bennett throw, his ability to evade punches is quite remarkable.
Bennett’s not afraid to chuck ‘em. He had this spirited scrap with Winnipeg Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba at the tail end of last season.
