Game Highlights


The match began with the Kraken setting an aggressive tone early on, netting two goals in the first period and maintaining control of the puck with strategic plays and effective teamwork. Despite not adding to their tally in the second period, they came back strong in the third period by scoring three more goals against a struggling Bruins defense.


Oliver Bjorkstrand emerged as one of Seattle's standout performers, scoring two goals on just two shots – an impressive shooting percentage that underscored his precision and timing. Jared McCann also made significant contributions with one goal and one assist, further amplifying his team's offensive output. On defense and between the pipes, Philipp Grubauer was nearly impenetrable; he saved 33 out of 34 shots from Boston players – showcasing why he is considered among elite goaltenders in league circles.


The Bruins managed to find some rhythm in the second period when they scored their only goal of the night but struggled to capitalize on powerplay opportunities provided during critical moments of play. Their efforts were hampered by Seattle’s disciplined gameplay which saw them concede fewer penalties compared to previous outings.
