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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

He's up to 12 tallies, 32 points, 118 shots on net and a minus-9 rating through 67 appearances. Beniers continues to see important minutes for the Kraken, but it's likely too late in the campaign to fully dig out of his sophomore slump.
