In an evenly matched contest, the Seattle Kraken displayed resilience but ultimately fell short against the Dallas Stars. Throughout the game, both teams were locked in a battle of attrition as they sought to impose their will on each other. The Kraken's goaltender was particularly busy, making an impressive total of 27 saves throughout the game. Despite this effort between the pipes, it wasn't enough to secure victory.


The lone goal for Seattle came during the third period which brought life into their play after two scoreless periods. This goal was one bright spot for fans as it showcased their team's ability to fight back even when trailing behind. However, this was not enough to turn around their fortunes entirely.

On offense, Seattle managed to take 27 shots at goal but found success only once; a shooting percentage that stood at four percent by game's end. Their powerplay opportunities did not yield any goals despite having three chances and managing three shots during these moments.


Defensively speaking, Seattle put up significant resistance with a total of 25 hits and blocked another 14 attempts from Dallas players. They also took away possession five times through takeaways but gave up seven giveaways themselves.

In contrast to their defensive efforts on open play where they conceded two goals out of twenty-four shots against them while playing even strength hockey; they allowed one more while shorthanded out of six shots faced in those situations.


The Stars capitalized on one out of three powerplay opportunities which proved crucial in establishing and maintaining their lead over Seattle throughout all three periods scoring once per period respectively.
