Matty Beniers Finishes Losing Effort With Three Points
Seattle Kraken center Matty Beniers hit top gear against the Jets on Thursday, recording two goals and an assist in a 4-3 overtime loss.

These are Beniers' first goals of the campaign. Additionally, Beniers sits on just two assists through eight games. It's been a rough start for Beniers, but Thursday's outing should give him momentum for the next few games.
Matty Beniers Signs Seven-Year Extension With Kraken
Seattle Kraken center Matty Beniers has committed his long-term future to the franchise, inking a seven-year extension.
