Status report
Beniers, a forward, was put on injured reserve after the Kraken's 3-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday. They subsequently recalled Hayden, a forward, from Coachella Valley of the American Hockey League. … Beniers, Dunn, a defenseman, and Burakovsky, a forward, are all day to day, coach Dave Hakstol said before the game Tuesday. … Larsson didn't play after the first period in Pittsburgh because of an illness. … Pitlick, a forward, is cleared from the lower-body injury he sustained against the Carolina Hurricanes on Jan. 2. He practiced with the Rangers in a regular jersey Tuesday morning, but coach Peter Laviolette said he needs to get some more work in in practice before returning to game action. He will miss his seventh straight game.
