Kraken draftee Matty Beniers eager for playoff run with Michigan FOX13
forward Matty Beniers believes he's a better skater and shooter than he was when he became Seattle's first ever draft pick last July. Playing in the Olympics for Team USA and chasing an NCAA title at the University of Michigan this season has helped prepare Beniers for his eventual move to the NHL.
"I think it's going to be a lot of fun," Beniers said. "I think we have the team to do it. I think that's what really puts more pressure on us. It's because we know what we can do. We know we can be extremely good and then at this point of the year it's just how good can you be in those pressure moments and when the game is really on the line."
Beniers, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2021 NHL Draft, has 36 points this season for the Wolverines with 16 goals and 20 assists. "It was obviously a great experience playing with older guys and playing on that stage, playing with the USA jersey and all those things. It was a great experience. I loved every second of it," Beniers said of the experience. "It wasn't the outcome that we wanted, but it was a lot of fun while it lasted. I just wish we went further than we did but can't change that now.
