Kraken's Standout Performances


The Seattle Kraken showcased notable performances from several players. Goalie Joey Daccord made an impressive 35 saves out of 39 shots against him, reflecting his critical role in keeping the game within reach for much of its duration. Forward Jared McCann was responsible for Seattle's lone goal, marking his contribution as pivotal in an otherwise defensively dominated game by both teams.


On defense, Brandon Montour stood out despite not contributing to scoring; he led with five hits and played over twenty-two minutes on ice, demonstrating his physical presence and endurance throughout the match. Matty Beniers also made significant contributions beyond scoring by assisting on McCann’s goal and delivering two hits during his nearly eighteen minutes on ice.

Hurricanes' Tactical Edge


The Carolina Hurricanes executed their strategy with precision, capitalizing on opportunities that came their way. They managed to score four goals from thirty-nine shots thanks to efficient playmaking and sharpshooting that found its way past Seattle's defense more often than not. Their powerplay unit broke through once out of six chances while successfully neutralizing all three powerplay opportunities granted to the Kraken.


Jack Drury was among those who shined for Carolina; he earned one of three stars awarded post-game due to his performance which included key plays leading up to goals scored by his team. The Hurricanes’ ability to maintain pressure across all periods ultimately contributed significantly to their win.
