It appears Pittsburgh Penguins forward Beau Bennett will be heading back to the press box after being a minus-2 in his team's Game 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, his postseason debut.

Conor Sheary, who was scratched during Sunday's game, was back on the Penguins' top line with Sidney Crosby and Patric Hornqvist during line rushes at Tuesday's game-day skate, and also spent time with the team's second power-play unit.

Bennett, meanwhile, was left without a line.

Since recording three points in his team's first-round series against the New York Rangers, Sheary has gone cold, with just three assists in his last 10 games.
