On November 4th, the Seattle Kraken hosted the Chicago Blackhawks at Climate Pledge Arena and defeated their opponent 3-1, extending their recent good form, thanks to excellent performances from Jordan Eberle and Matty Beniers, both of whom contributed a goal and an assist.
In the game, Jamie Oleksiak also scored a goal for the Kraken, helping the team extend its point streak to five games (3-0-2 record). Goaltender Joey Daccord was solid, making 29 saves throughout the game, serving as a vital defensive backbone for the team.
For the Blackhawks, André Burakovsky broke Daccord’s shutout bid in the third period, scoring the visiting team’s only goal. Goaltender Arvid Soderblom made 21 saves on 24 shots faced.
The Blackhawks attempted a comeback after falling behind 0-2. Connor Bedard carried the puck along the right wing boards and delivered an accurate pass to Burakovsky in the slot, who scored with a five-hole wrist shot at 11:33 of the third period to pull the Blackhawks within one. Notably, Burakovsky played for the Seattle Kraken for the previous three seasons, and Climate Pledge Arena honored him with a video tribute midway through the first period. With this goal, he also extended his personal point streak to four games, totaling three goals and three assists during that span.
