Matty Beniers - NHL News & Rumors

Collects power-play assist Beniers notched a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact Beniers has contributed seven helpers, including two on the power play, over his last seven games. He's yet to put an end to his goal drought, which reached 14 contests Thursday, but it's good to see the 22-year-old finding a way to get involved on offense again. He's at 17 points (two on the power play), 56 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 31 appearances this season, playing in a top-six role.

Two helpers in victory Beniers produced two assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Rangers.

Impact Beniers registered a helper on the man advantage in the middle frame, and he set up Yanni Gourde's empty-net tally to seal the win for the Kraken. After being held off the scoresheet in seven consecutive contests, Beniers has produced six assists over his last five games. The 22-year-old hasn't found the back of the net since Nov. 14, though. The Massachusetts native is up to four goals, 12 assists and a plus-9 rating through 29 contests while slotting in on the top line.

Puts up assist in win Beniers notched an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact Beniers helped out on a Vince Dunn tally in the second period. With four helpers in his last three games, it appears Beniers has found some success during the Kraken's latest round of lineup shuffles -- he's now playing alongside Jaden Schwartz and Yanni Gourde. Beniers is at 14 points, 51 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 27 contests, and he remains firmly in a top-six role.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up two goals Tuesday Beniers recorded two assists, a plus-3 rating and two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Beniers set up Jaden Schwartz's opening goal just 19 seconds into the game, and he doubled his helpers tally by delivering one of the assists in Yanni Gourde's third-period strike. Beniers went through a seven-game pointless slump between Nov. 16 and Nov. 29, but he's bounced back admirably with three assists over his last two outings. The 22-year-old has four goals and nine assists across 26 contests this season, but he remains behind the pace of the numbers he posted in his previous two campaigns with the Kraken.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ends slump with helper Beniers posted an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Beniers had gone seven games without a point entering Saturday. He ended the drought when he set up a Jaden Schwartz tally in the second period. Beniers hasn't found much consistency on offense outside of a four-game point streak at the end of October. He's now at 11 points, 48 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-6 rating through 25 contests. The Kraken will likely keep juggling their lines until something clicks on offense, though that's not a guarantee it will spark Beniers' play individually.

Opens scoring in win Beniers scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Beniers opened the scoring at 4:18 of the second period. The 22-year-old center is still looking for consistency in his offense -- he had two points over his first five outings in November. He's at four goals, 10 points, 30 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 17 appearances this season, and he remains in a top-six role.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Two points on birthday Beniers scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Beniers celebrated his 22nd birthday with a two-point effort, his second multi-point effort of the campaign. After a cold start, the center has eight points over his last seven outings. He's collected three goals, six helpers, 27 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 14 contests this season, and he's maintained a top-six role even when his offense has been lacking.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Points in three straight Beniers collected an assist along with one block in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Beniers was nearly shut out from the scoresheet in the Kraken's highest scoring output thus far but managed a secondary assist on Eeli Tolvanen's goal that capped Seattle's scoring late in the third period. The helper gave Beniers points in three straight contests. The 21-year-old winger started the season on the quiet side with just one point through the first seven outings but bounced back with five points during his three-game streak.

Bags apple in loss Beniers managed an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Beniers' offense is looking a bit more lively with four points over his last two games. The 21-year-old center has five points, 21 shots on net, nine blocked shots, five hits and a plus-2 rating across nine contests. The Kraken's top line has consistently featured Jared McCann and Jordan Eberle this season, and Beniers is centering them for now, which could help him find steady production.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Breaks out with three points Beniers scored twice, added an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Impact Beniers had been limited to a single assist over the first seven games of the campaign. Reunited with Jordan Eberle and Jared McCann, Beniers broke through, scoring in the first and third periods and adding a helper on Jordan Eberle's tally in the third. With four points, 19 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over eight contests this season, Beniers will need to be more consistent to be helpful for fantasy managers, though his defensive work will keep him in a prominent role.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Secures first assist of season Beniers notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Predators.

Impact The helper was Beniers' first point in four games this season. He led all Kraken forwards with 17:42 of ice time and continues to be an important two-way center, but that hasn't translated to stronger scoring numbers yet. It's not for a lack of opportunity -- he's recorded 12 shots on net and remains on the power play, so there are reasons to believe his luck will improve over time.

Secures long-term extension Beniers agreed to terms on a seven-year, $49.98 million contract extension with Seattle on Tuesday.

Impact Beniers suffered a sophomore slump last season, posting just 15 goals and 22 helpers in 77 outings -- well behind the 57 points in 80 games he recorded as a rookie the year prior. Still, the 2021 second-overall pick remains the top center option for the club entering the upcoming 2024-25 campaign and figures to offer decent offensive upside. Fantasy managers should be able to count on Beniers getting back over the 50-point threshold.

Scores on power play in finale Beniers scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Beniers snapped a four-game drought with his goal in the final game of the season. The 21-year-old center had a disappointing year on offense with 15 goals and 37 points over 77 appearances after posting 57 points in 80 games as a rookie. Beniers showed growth in his two-way game, but it'll be interesting to see how negotiations shake out with a new contract needed for the restricted free agent, which is likely to be at the top of the to-do list for general manager Ron Francis.
