The Florida Panthers started the season without Sam Bennett, and they are bracing to be without him once again.How long this absence will be is still unclear.Panthers coach Paul Maurice told reporters after the team practiced in Detroit on Wednesday that the reigning Eastern Conference champions aren’t sure on the prognosis for Bennett, Florida’s fourth-leading scorer in last season’s playoffs. Bennett missed the first seven games of this season with a lower-body injury, returned for about 8 minutes of ice time in Monday’s 3-2 loss at Boston, and got hurt again after Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm fell on him in front of the net.Bennett needed to be helped off the ice, unable to put any weight on his left leg.“He’s not day-to-day.

What happens in the first three days will tell us how long it’s going to be.”Florida plays at Detroi...
