The Kraken, Seattle’s new NHL team, failed to secure their first win in their inaugural season, losing to the St. Louis Blues in a shootout.
The game was a back-and-forth affair, with the Blues taking the lead early in the first period. The Kraken responded with a goal of their own, but the Blues quickly regained the lead. The teams traded goals throughout the rest of the game, and the score was tied at the end of regulation.
The shootout saw the Blues take advantage of their chances, scoring on all three of their attempts. The Kraken, meanwhile, were only able to convert on one of their attempts.
Despite the loss, the Kraken showed promise in their debut game. They were able to keep up with a team that has been in the NHL for decades, and they showed flashes of brilliance throughout the game.
The Kraken will look to bounce back in their next game against the Arizona Coyotes. With some more practice and experience, they could be a force to be reckoned with in the NHL.
For now, though, the Kraken will have to settle for a loss in their first game. It’s a disappointing result, but it’s only the beginning for Seattle’s newest hockey team.
