Devils' Bennett suggests he'll likely get mumps again

When you become accustomed to injuries, you start to expect the worst.

Following the news Friday that the Vancouver Canucks are dealing with a mumps outbreak, New Jersey Devils forward Beau Bennett took to Twitter to suggest that odds are he will also contract the illness again.

I'm not a betting man, but if I were, you gotta think I somehow get the mumps again

Bennett, of course, is no stranger to mumps, as he was one of the many NHLers who contracted the illness back in December 2014 when he was a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Over his career, Bennett has played in just 172 of his teams' 354 games - due to both injuries and scratches - so you'd be wise to take that bet.
