Seattle Kraken's Joey Daccord Makes Winter Classic History with First Shutout

The Kraken continue their winning streak with Daccord's standout performance, marking a turnaround after a slow start to the season.

Joey Daccord, the Seattle Kraken goalie, made history by becoming the first goalie to post a shutout in a Winter Classic game, stopping all 35 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Kraken have been on a winning streak, with nine straight games with a point, and Daccord has been a key figure in this success, playing in all but one of those games.
Daccord's performance has been particularly impressive given the unique challenges of playing in an outdoor setting, which can make for unpredictable conditions and increased difficulty for goalies.
The Winter Classic was a major event for the city of Seattle, with a sellout crowd of 47,313 at T-Mobile Park and a successful execution of the event that leaned into the roots of the Pacific Northwest.
Despite a slow start to the season and an eight-game losing skid that started in late November, the Kraken have now reeled off five-straight wins.
