Bennett nets first NHL goal
Former Penticton Vee Beau Bennett earned his first National Hockey League point. The Pittsburgh Penquin scored a power play goal, which turned out to be the winner, against the Tampa Bay Lightning as he one-timed a Sidney Crosby feed. “It felt pretty good, definitely,” said Bennett on www.penguins.nhl.com. “Get a big win with it as well, it goes hand in hand. It felt awesome and hopefully just stay after it and keep this win-streak going.” The tally was Bennett’s first point in five game since being called up Feb. 14.
