"It's been going well," Benoit said. "I was able to get a lot of my confidence back, playing in the AHL this year. Hopefully I can take that with me and play well here."

"I think experience is overrated," Hitchcock said. "You can have all the experience in the world, you've still got to play. I think Benoit is here because, quite frankly, he has played the best of anybody (with the Wolves). We're in that situation where we've got four games left, we've sustained another injury (to Bortuzzo) and we need him to be a good player for us right now. He's played the best of any of them down there the last three weeks or so, and deserved the call-up, so he's going to play tonight."
