Matty Beniers

Matthew Beniers scored a goal on Monday in a 4-2 win over the Ottawa Senators.

Fantasy Impact

The Matty Beniers era has begun in Seattle! The second overall pick in last year's draft now has three points (2 goals, 1 assist) in his first three games in the National Hockey League. The University of Michigan product is coming off a big season in the NCAA and has not missed a beat in his transition to the NHL. Beniers will certainly have a lot of value in re-draft next year and congratulations if you roster him in dynasty.

Beniers wasted no time picking up his first NHL point after feeding a cross ice pass to Ryan Donato who slapped it home to open the scoring against the Flames Tuesday night.

Fantasy Impact

The Kraken hope their first ever draft pick can provide a boost to their 30th-ranked offense as their inaugural season winds to a close. Beniers was slotted on the first line between Donato and Eberle and saw time on the powerplay in his debut. The 19-year old has stayed busy this year, appearing for the United States at both the World Juniors and Olympics in addition to a Frozen Four run at the University of Michigan.
