Kraken’s Matty Beniers out for next two games, casting doubt on All-Star availability

SEATTLE — After suffering an apparent injury following a hit Wednesday, Kraken All-Star Matty Beniers was absent at Friday’s morning skate and will miss games Friday and Saturday before a break for the annual NHL showcase, putting his participation in question.

“He won’t be available today or tomorrow,” coach Dave Hakstol said Friday morning. He didn’t comment on Beniers’ All-Star weekend availability but said the rookie can be called day to day.

The Kraken host the Calgary Flames on Friday night at Climate Pledge Arena and the Columbus Blue Jackets 24 hours later. Those are their last two matchups before the All-Star break. Their first game after the break is Feb. 7 at the New York Islanders.
