Benning's return to action won't impact many fantasy owners' lineups, as his negligible offensive output -- 14 points in 57 games this campaign -- keeps him from being a practical option in most formats. The 22-year-old blueliner is expected to skate with Darnell Nurse on the Oilers' bottom pairing against San Jose.
