Despite struggling with injuries throughout his junior career, Benson made a name for himself in Bakersfield, where he scored 66 points in 68 games in the AHL. He maintained that production level in the 2020-2021 season, scoring 36 points in 36 games.
After scoring one goal in 29 games during the 2021-2022 season, Benson was sent back down to Bakersfield. He signed a one-year, two-way contract in 2022-2023, scoring 23 points in 43 games despite suffering from an injury. However, he only appeared in two games for the Oilers that season.
As a result, he signed a contract with the Henderson Silver Knights, where he hopes to showcase his skills and earn a two-way contract with the Vegas Golden Knights.
