Jamie Benn's ascendance continues.

The reigning Art Ross Trophy winner has reached the 40-goal mark for the first time in his career, and, true to his game, he straight up outmuscled a bunch of Arizona Coyotes en route to the milestone.

With four games remaining on the schedule, Benn has now scored five more goals than his career high set last season, and is on pace to top the 87 total points recorded a year ago.

Only Alex Ovechkin (44) has scored more goals to date this season.
