Benoit was returned to the minors Monday.
ANALYSIS
Benoit's promotion was always going to be temporary through the All-Star break. Now that the team is back in action ahead of Tuesday's clash with Minnesota, the defenseman was sent back to the Monsters -- for whom he has tallied five points, a minus-1 rating and 22 PIM in 31 outings. The 34-year-old has perhaps seen the last of the NHL, having previously appeared in 181 games in which he notched 11 goals and 37 helpers.

2012 Fantasy Outlook
Benoit signed a one-year, two-way contract in the offseason, returning to the team after a one-year absence as he played for Spartak Moscow of the KHL during the 2011-12 season. Benoit is an offensively-minded blueliner who will be given a shot to make the big club out of camp due to an opening on Ottawa's third defensive pairing. He's spent the majority of his career in the AHL and helped lead Ottawa's affiliate in Binghamton to the 2011 Calder Cup. If Benoit is able to land a spot with Ottawa, he'll play third-pairing minutes, and might contribute to the second power-play unit. He has minor fantasy value, but could pot upwards of five goals and 10 assists with regular playing time.
