Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Logs assist Sunday
Benoit notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Benoit has two helpers over his last 12 outings, adding 25 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating in that span. The Maple Leafs are stretched thin on defense, so Benoit should continue to see top-four minutes to close out the regular season. He's matched his career high of 10 points while contributing 46 shots on net, 59 PIM, a plus-10 rating, 201 hits and 106 blocked shots over 76 appearances this season.

Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Breaks slump with goal
Benoit scored a goal, added seven PIM, levied four hits and blocked three shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.
The goal was Benoit's first of the season, and it ended his 24-game point drought. Despite the lack of offense, he's been a regular in the lineup, missing just two games during his slump, both as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old blueliner is at five points through 60 outings, matching his output over 64 contests from the 2023-24 regular season. He's added 37 shots on net, 46 PIM, 168 hits and 89 blocked shots in 2024-25 while filling a third-pairing role.

Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Dry spell on offense continues
Benoit was held off the scoresheet for the 21st game in a row in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Penguins.
If ever there was a time to end a drought, a game like Sunday's would have been a good one, but Benoit was not involved in the scoring fun. The 26-year-old defenseman remains a steady presence in the Maple Leafs' lineup for his physicality. Over 56 appearances, he has just four assists, but he's compiled 152 hits, 83 blocked shots and 37 PIM while playing in a bottom-four role.

Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: No points in January
Benoit was held off the scoresheet in all 11 of his appearances in January.
Benoit's overall point drought is up to 12 games. He was also scratched twice in the middle of the month, but the Maple Leafs seem to value his physicality even if it comes with a complete lack of offense. For the season, the 26-year-old blueliner is at four assists, 31 shots on net, 28 PIM, 125 hits and 65 blocked shots over 47 appearances. Benoit has the upper hand on Philippe Myers and Conor Timmins to stay in a third-pairing role.

Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Chips in with helper
Benoit logged an assist and five hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.
Benoit ended his 13-game point slump with the helper. The 26-year-old defenseman has contributed four assists, 23 shots on net, 28 PIM, 54 blocked shots and 95 hits through 35 contests this season. Benoit likely won't ever be a significant scorer, but he can add ample physicality from the Maple Leafs' third pairing.

Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Goes quiet on offense
Benoit has no points while recording 35 hits and 14 blocked shots over 12 contests in December.
Benoit is a physical force on the Maple Leafs' third pairing, which has helped him to stay in the lineup. Offense isn't a big part of his playing style, which limits his fantasy value to banger formats. The 26-year-old is at three assists, 86 hits, 49 blocked shots, 26 PIM, 22 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 33 appearances.

Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Registers assist Saturday
Benoit produced an assist, two shots on goal and a game-high nine hits in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.
It isn't unusual for Benoit to be ultra-physical, but his assist was the icing on the cake. He helped out on a Nicholas Robertson tally in the second period, which put the Maple Leafs ahead 3-0. Benoit has contributed three assists -- all over his last seven outings -- as well as 12 shots on net, 51 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 21 appearances this season.

Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Finds helper in win
Benoit recorded an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
The helper was Benoit's second of the season over 16 games. The 26-year-old defenseman typically makes more of an impact with physicality than scoring, and that's been true in 2024-25 -- he has 31 hits, 28 blocked shots and 12 PIM. He's holding down a third-pairing role for now, though he could face pressure for playing time from Matt Benning or Philippe Myers in the short term, and he could be out of the mix entirely once Jani Hakanpaa (knee) is cleared to play.

Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Chips in with assist
Benoit notched an assist and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
The helper was Benoit's first point in seven appearances this season. The defenseman has added a plus-3 rating, five shots on net, eight hits, eight PIM and 14 blocked shots. Benoit is known for his toughness, and he's done a passable job defensively to keep Philippe Myers in the press box.

Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Secures three-year deal
Benoit inked a three-year, $4.05 million contract extension with Toronto on Friday.
Benoit has logged 54 games for the Leafs this season, notching one goal on 48 shots and four assists while averaging 16:55 of ice time. While the 25-year-old blueliner won't offer much in the way of offensive upside, he does have value in formats that utilize hits and blocks, as he has racked up 204 and 82, respectively, this season.

Maple Leafs' Simon Benoit: Physical force against Caps
Benoit recorded nine hits with a blocked shot, a shot on net and a plus-1 rating in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Capitals.
The game got chippy in the third period as the Maple Leafs pulled away, and Benoit earned his keep with a dominant physical performance. The 25-year-old blueliner hasn't produced a point in his last nine games, but he's piled up 37 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over that stretch, including three separate games with six-plus hits. Beniot's 184 hits on the season have come in only 51 games, and as long as he stays out of the press box, he should reach 200 for the second straight campaign.
