What Happened
Seattle opened its home schedule with a 6-1 win over Calgary on Sunday night, scoring three times inside the first eight minutes. Berkly Catton struck 2:22 into the first period, Mackie Samoskevich followed at 4:40 and Bobby McMann made it 3-0 at 7:40. Samoskevich added his second goal late in the second period, while Shane Wright and Jordan Eberle also scored. Joey Daccord stopped 32 shots, losing his shutout bid when Morgan Frost scored on the power play with 5:35 remaining.
Key Details
- Samoskevich's first goal with Seattle came after his June trade from Florida for a 2026 first-round pick and 2027 conditional second-round pick.
- Daccord made 32 saves for the Kraken.
- Frost's power-play goal was the first Seattle has conceded this season.
- Dustin Wolf stopped 21 shots for Calgary.
- Seattle is 2-1-0 and has beaten Calgary twice this season.
- Wolf has allowed 12 goals in two starts, both against Seattle.
What It Means
Calgary remains without a win early in the season, and its two losses have both come against Seattle. Wolf, a Calder Memorial Trophy finalist last season after posting a 3.01 goals-against average and .899 save percentage, has given up 12 goals in his first two starts. Seattle, meanwhile, has started 2-1-0 and gotten immediate production from Samoskevich after the June trade.
