Kraken Roll Past Flames With Four-Goal Third, Extend Point Streak to Eight

Philipp Grubauer’s 41 saves anchored a surge driven by depth scoring that has pushed Seattle into the Pacific Division’s top three.

Overview

  • Seattle beat Calgary 5-1 at the Saddledome, breaking a 1-1 tie as Shane Wright netted the go-ahead goal 1:57 into the third on his 22nd birthday.
  • Philipp Grubauer stopped 41 shots and has four straight wins with just one goal allowed in each, compiling a .972 save percentage on 140 shots in that span.
  • The Kraken are 7-0-1 in their last eight with five consecutive road wins and now sit third in the Pacific Division, a point back of Vegas and Edmonton.
  • Fourth-line contributors continued to deliver as Jacob Melanson scored his first NHL goal off a Ryan Winterton setup, with Ben Meyers factoring into the third-period winner.
  • Calgary opened the scoring and outshot Seattle through two periods, but turnovers and coverage lapses proved costly with Dustin Wolf making 23 saves and suspended forward John Beecher unavailable.
