On Thursday night, the Seattle Kraken made history with a 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars. The win was made possible by the stellar goaltending of Philipp Grubauer, who made 37 saves in the game. Grubauer’s performance was especially impressive considering the Stars had the advantage in shots on goal, outshooting the Kraken 39-25.
Grubauer was acquired by the Kraken in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft and has been a key component of their success this season. He has been a consistent presence in net for the Kraken, playing in all but one of their games this season. His performance against the Stars was no exception, as he was able to keep the Stars at bay despite their offensive onslaught.
The Kraken were also able to get some offense going, with goals from forwards Kyle Connor and Logan Couture. Connor’s goal came in the first period and gave the Kraken a 1-0 lead. Couture’s goal came in the third period and proved to be the game-winner.
On the other side of the ice, Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger had a solid performance as well, making 22 saves on 25 shots. Oettinger has been one of the Stars’ most reliable goaltenders this season and has been a key part of their success.
The victory over the Stars is a huge milestone for the Kraken and is a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication. Grubauer’s performance was a major factor in the win and his efforts will be remembered for years to come. With Grubauer in net, the Kraken have a great chance of making a deep run in the playoffs this season.
