New Faces Shine for Seattle
The Seattle Kraken kicked off their fifth NHL season with a 3-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, earning their first-ever season-opening win. Several new additions to the Kraken roster made their presence felt in the hard-fought contest.
Prized offseason acquisition Mason Marchment opened the scoring for Seattle, netting a goal in his Kraken debut. Meanwhile, 19-year-old rookie Berkly Catton was a healthy scratch for the game as the team continues to work with the young forward.
Veteran Leadership Guides the Way
Veteran forwards Jordan Eberle and Jared McCann also made key contributions for the Kraken. Eberle picked up an assist on the game-winning goal by Matty Beniers, while McCann scored an insurance tally late in the third period.
Goaltender Joey Daccord was solid between the pipes, making 35 saves to earn the victory. Defensemen Vince Dunn, Jamie Oleksiak, and Adam Larsson provided steady play in their own end to support Daccord's performance.
