The Seattle Kraken faced off against the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center, resulting in a 2-1 victory for the home team. The Kraken now hold a record of 7-4-4, while the Stars improved to 9-4-3.

First Period

The game kicked off with an explosive start from the Dallas Stars, who managed to net two goals in quick succession. Tyler Seguin and Miro Heiskanen were instrumental in this early lead, showcasing their offensive prowess. The Seattle defense struggled to contain these attacks despite their efforts, including notable plays from Adam Larsson and Jamie Oleksiak.

Second Period

As the second period unfolded, both teams tightened their defenses significantly. The Kraken attempted to close the gap but were unable to capitalize on several powerplay opportunities. Vince Dunn contributed with an assist during this period but couldn't convert it into a goal for Seattle.

Third Period

In the final stretch of play, Jaden Schwartz provided a glimmer of hope for Seattle by scoring their only goal of the match. Despite outshooting Dallas with 31 shots compared to Dallas' 24, they couldn't find another breakthrough past Casey DeSmith's solid goaltending performance for Dallas.

Seattle's goaltender Matt Murray made commendable saves throughout but was ultimately credited with the loss due to early goals conceded in even-strength situations.
