Catton Nets First Two NHL Goals as Kraken Beat Bruins 7-4 to Extend Point Streak to Nine

A nine-game point surge, powered by hot goaltending plus rookie scoring, has pushed Seattle into the Pacific Division race.

Overview

  • Seattle improved to 8-0-1 over its last nine games with a 7-4 win over Boston, highlighted by Berkly Catton’s first two NHL goals and three power-play strikes.
  • Jordan Eberle opened the scoring on a 5-on-3, Ben Meyers delivered the second-period winner, Jared McCann scored with 0.5 seconds left in the frame, and Kaapo Kakko added two goals as Joey Daccord made 32 saves.
  • One night earlier, the Kraken downed Calgary 5-1 as Philipp Grubauer made 41 saves, capping a four-start run with one goal allowed in each game and a .972 save percentage.
  • Depth has driven the turnaround, with the fourth line of Ben Meyers, Ryan Winterton and Jacob Melanson piling up chances and Melanson netting his first NHL goal in Calgary.
  • The streak has lifted Seattle from a late-December slump into divisional contention as a crowded January schedule continues to test the roster.
