The Seattle Kraken made history on Tuesday night, as goaltender Philipp Grubauer led them to their first ever winning streak against the Nashville Predators. Grubauer made 33 saves in the 4-2 victory, helping the Kraken to their second consecutive win over the Predators. It was a huge milestone for the expansion franchise, as they had previously lost all four meetings with Nashville this season.
Grubauer was outstanding in net, making several key saves to keep the Predators at bay. He was especially impressive in the third period, when he stopped all 13 shots he faced. His performance earned him the first star of the game, and he was also named the NHL’s Third Star of the Week for his efforts.
The Kraken also got some offensive help from forward Anthony Cirelli, who scored twice in the game. His first goal came late in the second period and gave Seattle a 3-1 lead. His second goal came early in the third period and put the game out of reach for Nashville.
The win was a huge boost for the Kraken, who have been struggling to find their footing in their inaugural season. With Grubauer’s stellar performance in net and Cirelli’s two goals, they were able to get their first winning streak against a tough opponent.
It was a great night for the Kraken and their fans, and they will look to keep the momentum going as they continue their inaugural season. With Grubauer in net and Cirelli providing offense, they have a great chance of continuing their winning ways.
