Kraken Rout Flames 5-1 With Four in Third to Extend Streak to Eight

Philipp Grubauer's 41-save form has propelled Seattle into third place in the Pacific Division.

Overview

  • Shane Wright netted the go-ahead goal 1:57 into the third period on his 22nd birthday as Seattle broke a 1-1 tie.
  • Rookie Jacob Melanson recorded his first NHL goal, continuing a fourth-line surge with Ben Meyers and Ryan Winterton that has produced multi-game point streaks.
  • Grubauer has won four straight starts while allowing one goal in each, stopping 140 shots in that span for a .972 save percentage.
  • Calgary controlled stretches and outshot Seattle through two periods, but third-period turnovers and coverage lapses proved costly in a second straight home loss.
  • The Kraken have five consecutive road wins and sit one point behind Vegas and Edmonton, hosting Boston on Tuesday, while the Flames head to Montreal on Wednesday with John Beecher having served a one-game suspension.
