Not Their Night in Homestand Finale

The Seattle Kraken’s recent homestand ended on a disappointing note with a 6-1 defeat against the San Jose Sharks. Despite the loss, the Kraken secured six out of a possible ten points across five home games, finishing with a 2-1-2 record.

Game Summary

The Kraken faced their first regulation home loss of the season on Wednesday night. Ryan Winterton scored his first NHL goal late in the first period, tying the game at 1-1. However, San Jose quickly recovered the lead shortly after and extended it before the first intermission.

Looking Ahead

The Kraken will embark on a weekend back-to-back trip to face St. Louis, currently struggling with a 4-8-2 record, and Dallas, a strong contender at 7-3-3. Following that, Seattle returns home for a three-game homestand culminating with a rematch against the Sharks.
