Winterton Nets Two as Kraken Close Preseason With 4-2 Win Over Oilers

The result closes a 3-2-1 preseason, with roster decisions pending before the Oct. 9 home opener.

Overview

  • Seattle finished exhibition play 3-2-1, taking two of its wins against Edmonton.
  • Ryan Winterton scored shorthanded off a Calvin Pickard misplay and added an early third-period tally from a Frederick Gaudreau feed.
  • Joey Daccord stopped 32 of 34 shots, steadying the Kraken during Edmonton’s second-period push.
  • Special teams loomed large with 11 penalties as Seattle went 2-for-6 on the power play and 4-for-5 on the kill, including 5-on-3 time for both sides.
  • Josh Mahura and Eeli Tolvanen scored first-period power-play goals, and the team now turns to trimming the roster to the 23-man limit ahead of hosting the Ducks on Oct. 9.
