CALGARY - The Scotiabank Saddledome has turned out to be a pretty exciting workout facility for injured prospect Sam Bennett, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.The injury-riddled Flames, arguably the NHLs biggest surprise this season at 17-8-2, sit one point back of the Anaheim Ducks and Vancouver Canucks for the lead in the Western Conference entering Fridays games.Its amazing being part of a rebuild and how much success weve been having, said Bennett, selected fourth overall by Calgary in this years draft. Its been awesome just being in the room. Everyone is so happy and in such good moods. Its just great to see how well not only the young guys, but how everyone is playing.Bennett, 18, underwent surgery on Oct. 14 to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Meeting with the media for the first time Friday since the operation, he said hes pleased with his recovery. They anchored it back onto the bone. It all went really well and they had no issue, Bennett said. Im really happy with the progress so far. Ive gone a solid month now of solid rehab. Im starting to do some strength work now too and I havent had any issues so its all positive.Bennett spent the past month in Calgary where a typical day consists of arriving at the rink, attending the team meeting, then going for a workout as the players get ready for practice. In the gym, he works on his conditioning and his lifting with Flames strength and conditioning coach Ryan van Asten.Once thats complete, its off to see the trainers for some physical therapy.The goal is to be skating come the New Year and from there, keep progressing and if I have no issues skating, then were going to keep ramping it up, said Bennett.Bennett, a native of Holland Landing, Ont., hopes to get in some games before the end of this season. He said hes learned a lot from being around the Flames for the past four weeks.Im a pretty hard-working guy but just coming here and seeing the amount of work that not only I have to put in but the guys that are playing put in, its pretty impressive and you definitely appreciate it more when youre here, said Bennett.Coach Bob Hartley said the Flames are trying to do everything they can to make something positive out of what was a negative situation.A day like today is a great day at school for Sam Bennett, said Hartley. He sees the (Mark) Giordanos and company in the gym, preparing for tomorrow. Even though most of those guys didnt skate, it was a work day, it was not a day off.You get the sense that if Hartley was assigning grades, Bennetts marks so far would be pretty darn good.This kid is going to be a special one. Hes eager. If we would listen to him, not only would he be skating with us, hed be playing right now. Hes champing at the bit to the point where hes almost annoying, Hartley said with a laugh.With Mason Raymond (shoulder), Matt Stajan (knee), Joe Colborne (wrist) and Mikael Backlund (abdomen) all out with injuries, it has opened up playing time and Calgarys rookies have stepped in and played significant roles.With Johnny Gaudreau (4-16-20) second in rookie points, unheralded Josh Jooris (8-4-12) tied for third in rookie goals and Markus Granlund (3-6-9) in the top 15 in rookie scoring, it bodes well for the future.Its awesome with some of the big-name guys we have out right now, said Gaudreau. A lot of younger guys including myself have stepped in and I think weve done a pretty good job so far. Were still winning games with us younger guys in the lineup. Were helping contribute offensively and defensively and its just great to see us younger guys help the team out here.Thats a future that will inevitably include Bennett, the Flames highest draft pick in team history.(Bennett) being here is going to be a good experience for him, said sophomore centre Sean Monahan, whos second on the team with 10 goals. Hes going to be learning a lot just by being around the dressing room.Monahan played against Bennett in junior and knows the calibre of player the Flames have on their hands. Obviously, weve seen him in the pre-season and what he can do, he said. Hes going to get confidence being here and knowing what some of the young guys are doing and hes going to be a great player for us.Its going to be a bright future and its going to be a good team here for a long time.Notes: The Flames will kick off a four-game Eastern trip on Tuesday night in Toronto. Theyll bring Bennett along with them and hell stay at home in nearby Holland Landing until early January when he meets again with his surgeon. After that appointment, hell make his way back to Calgary.
