SEATTLE — In a season of debuts for the Seattle Kraken, Matty Beniers may have had the best one yet.
The 19-year-old, who was the Kraken’s first pick in its first draft last spring and the second overall, made his first start in his first home game Saturday night in front of 17,151 at Climate Pledge Arena.
He scored his first goal, a rebound off the post of a shot from Vince Dunn that Jared McCann tipped late in the second period to key an eventual 4-3 shootout win for the Kraken over the New Jersey Devils.
