Seattle Kraken Halt Kings’ Home Dominance with 2-1 Victory

Matty Beniers and Brandon Montour's first-period goals, combined with Joey Daccord's stellar goaltending, ended the Kings' four-game streak and tightened the Pacific Division race.

The Seattle Kraken secured a 2-1 road victory over the Los Angeles Kings, marking their third consecutive win and ending the Kings’ four-game home winning streak.
Matty Beniers and Brandon Montour scored 54 seconds apart late in the first period, with Montour setting a career-high for goals in a season by a defenseman.
Joey Daccord was instrumental for Seattle, making 28 saves and benefiting from 30 blocked shots by his teammates to preserve the lead.
The Kings struggled on special teams, failing to convert on a nearly two-minute five-on-three power play in the first period and going 0-for-3 overall on the power play.
Despite the loss, the Kings remain in second place in the Pacific Division, four points ahead of the Edmonton Oilers, with five regular-season games remaining.
