Kraken's Offensive Onslaught: Enough to Topple the Sharks at Climate Pledge Arena?

The Kraken opened strong with an early goal in the first period, setting an aggressive tone for the game. Despite outshooting their opponents with a total of 50 shots on goal compared to the Sharks' 23, they were unable to capitalize on their opportunities. The home team's shooting percentage stood at a mere two percent as they struggled to find the back of the net beyond their initial success.


On power plays, Seattle had three chances but failed to convert any into goals. Their powerplay shots totaled six but none found their mark due in part to San Jose's solid penalty kill performance and goaltending which boasted a perfect save percentage throughout these critical moments.

Defensively, Seattle was active blocking six shots and taking away possession from San Jose ten times during play. However, this defensive effort was not enough as all three goals by San Jose were scored during even-strength play where both teams had equal numbers on ice.


The Sharks' goaltender played an instrumental role in their victory making an impressive total of 49 saves and securing a win for his team. This stellar performance included saving all 41 even-strength shots he faced from Kraken players who relentlessly attacked throughout all three periods.

Seattle fans witnessed tenacity from their team as they battled hard until the end; however, it was not enough against San Jose's efficient scoring and formidable defense that blocked twenty-eight attempts by Kraken skaters.


Looking ahead after this tough loss at home, Seattle Kraken will take on Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center on April 13th. Fans can catch this upcoming game live at 7:00 PM Central Time either on ABC or streaming via ESPN+.
