Bennett (leg) worked out on the ice Saturday at Consol Energy Center, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Analysis:

The winger isn't expected back until November, but Saturday's session represents a good first step. He's not expected to rejoin full practice, however, for another week to 10 days. Bennett offers plenty of play-making ability -- he just hasn't been able to stay healthy long enough to show off his skills.
