Second-period onslaught buries Red Wings in another home loss
So far, home ice hasn't been all that kind to the Red Wings.
Detroit Red Wings suffered a 6-3 home defeat to the Seattle Kraken on Friday, Oct. 9, marking their third loss in four games of the season. The Kraken dominated in the second period, scoring four goals within 9 minutes and 26 seconds to take a 5-2 lead. Wings' goaltender John Gibson was replaced by Daniil Tarasov after Seattle extended their lead to 5-2 at 14:05.
The Wings outshot the Kraken 41-25, but defensive lapses and goaltending issues proved costly. William Wallinder and Michael Brandsegg-Nygard both scored their first career NHL goals for the Red Wings, while Anton Johansson and Ben Meyers contributed for Seattle. The loss leaves the team with only one road game, in Montreal on Saturday, Oct. 10, remaining in their eight-game opening stretch.
