Niederreiter scored again just over four minutes into the third period to put the Jets ahead by two.
Jordan Eberle made it a score with 9:58 left with his sixth goal in Seattle's first eight games, and Beniers scored his second with 3:22 left to tie the score at 3-3.
Daccord finished with 32 saves.
Takeaway meals
Kraken: Beniers' goals were his first two of the season. He didn't score his second goal last season until Seattle's 18th game.
Jets: Winnipeg, who ranks second in the league in scoring, has scored three or more goals in four consecutive games and has reached the mark in five of its seven games this season.
Key moment
The Kraken appeared to take a 2-1 lead on Oliver Bjorkstrand's goal midway through the second period, but the goal was disallowed after review due to goalie interference. Vilardi put Winnipeg ahead just minutes later, making that overturned decision hurt even more.
Key Statistics
Winnipeg outshot the Kraken after the first period, 29-20, and four of those shots ended up in the back of the net.
Next
The Jets will play in Calgary on Saturday night, while the Kraken will host Carolina.
