Kraken's Struggle to Break Through
On the other side of the ice, The Seattle Kraken struggled to find their rhythm against a well-organized Calgary defense. Despite taking more shots than Calgary with a total of 34 attempts towards goal, they managed to convert only one into scoring due to Wolf’s stellar performance in goal for Calgary.
