Delivers helper in loss Beniers notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Beniers has a point in seven of his last nine games, earning four goals and three assists in that span. The 22-year-old has had few extended stretches of success this season, but he's played well since Kaapo Kakko was traded from the Rangers. Beniers is up to 11 goals, 18 helpers, 90 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 52 appearances.

Nets goal Saturday Beniers scored in the third period in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact The 22-year-old's tally in the third period was his 11th goal of the season and fourth point in his past five games. Beniers is up to 27 points, 86 shots on goal and 43 blocks in 49 appearances this season. The second overall selection from the 2021 draft still has room to grow and is slightly off the pace to surpass his career high of 57 points he set in 2022. However, his situation in Seattle is strong, playing alongside Jaden Schwartz and Kaapo Kakko on the team's first line. Beniers could become a streaming option if his recent quality of play continues.

Strikes on power play Beniers scored a power-play goal on four shots in Monday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact Beniers is in a groove again with three goals and an assist over his last five outings. He hasn't extended a point streak beyond four games this season, which makes it tough to trust him in fantasy, but playing alongside Jaden Schwartz and Kaapo Kakko has led to strong results over the last month. Beniers is up to 10 goals, 26 points (four on the power play), 85 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 48 appearances.

Deals helper in win Beniers logged an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

Impact Beniers fed Jaden Schwartz on the Kraken's second goal after the Kings committed a turnover. The 22-year-old Beniers has three points over his last four outings. He hasn't found the same scoring success of linemates Jaden Schwartz and Kaapo Kakko, but the trio has chemistry, which should safeguard Beniers from slipping in the lineup. Over 47 appearances this season, Beniers has nine goals, 16 helpers, 81 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating.

Nets lone goal in loss Beniers scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Beniers has two goals over his last three contests, but he was the only Kraken skater who could solve Connor Hellebuyck in this contest. The 22-year-old center has nine goals this season, five of which he's scored over his last 10 outings. Overall, he has 24 points, 81 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 46 games.

Ends four-game point slump Beniers scored his eighth goal of the season on his only shot and went plus-1 in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Beniers netted an even-strength goal at 6:54 of the third period to make the final score look slightly less lopsided. Considering the 22-year-old is centering the top line in addition to skating on the No. 1 power-play unit, his offensive output in 2024-25 has been lacking. It's been a struggle for the Massachusetts native to produce consistently since he put up 57 points in 80 regular-season games in his first full NHL campaign in 2022-23. However, Beniers has been joined on the top line by Kaapo Kakko, who was recently acquired in a trade from the Rangers, so it may take some time for Seattle's newly-formed top line to gel. Beniers is at eight goals, 23 points and a plus-6 rating through 44 appearances.

Impact Beniers has scored in three straight games and has five points during a four-game streak, matching his longest run of success this season. The 22-year-old center sparked the comeback effort with a tally midway through the third period. While it's positive to see Beniers find the scoresheet more consistently, he's had trouble making it last both this season and in 2023-24. He's now at seven goals, 22 points, 71 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 39 appearances.

This was Beniers' second straight game with a goal, and he has his first three-game point streak since Nov. 30-Dec. 5.

The 22-year-old center also won eight of 13 faceoffs, a rare successful day at the dot -- he's won 46.8 percent of his draws this year and isn't finding much success in that aspect of the game early in his career. He's also been middling on offense with 18 points, 62 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 36 appearances, though he remains in a top-six role.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
