Stephenson Leads Kraken Offense in Shootout Defeat
The Seattle Kraken may have fallen 4-3 in a shootout against the Ottawa Senators, but several of their key players stood out with strong performances. Veteran center Chandler Stephenson netted a pair of goals, continuing his offensive production after a 51-point campaign last season.
Wright Scores First of the Season
Rookie sensation Matty Beniers wasn't the only young gun to find the back of the net for the Kraken. Highly touted prospect Shane Wright scored his first goal of the season, showcasing the offensive upside that made him a top draft pick.
Grubauer Solid in Net
Goaltender Philipp Grubauer kept the Kraken in the game, stopping 35 of 38 shots faced. While the overtime loss was disappointing, Grubauer's steady play between the pipes gives the team confidence moving forward.
TL;DR
- Chandler Stephenson scored two goals for the Kraken in their 4-3 shootout loss to the Senators
- Rookie Shane Wright netted his first goal of the season, complementing fellow young star Matty Beniers
- Goalie Philipp Grubauer made 35 saves, giving the Kraken a chance to win despite the eventual defeat
