Flames' Sam Bennett: Won't miss time with mouth injury

Bennett got a root canal and 10 stitches after taking a stick to the mouth against Nashville on Tuesday, but he said he won't miss any time because of it.

Analysis:

In other sports, an injury of this type might require a game or two of rest. For hockey players, though, it's just another day at the office. Bennett further upped his hockey rep Tuesday night by getting into a fight, but he otherwise failed to impressed with just two shots on goal and a blocked shot in 12:37 of ice time.
