Three takeaways as Flames fall to Kraken in OT, wrap up encouraging road trip
Dustin Wolf stands tall in net and Martin Pospisil makes his presence known, but the Flames are stymied by Joey Daccord and the Kraken in Seattle.
In a thrilling overtime victory, the Seattle Kraken edged out the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Wednesday night. Matty Beniers netted the game-winning goal in the extra period, while Joey Daccord made a record-setting 25 saves. Berkeley Catton, who had scored previously in seven straight games, contributed with a goal of his own. The Flames' lone goal came from Yegor Sharangovich, who tipped a shot past Daccord during the first period.
Notably, Catton had an offside challenge denied and later redeemed himself with a goal in the second period. Pospisil faced a goaltender interference penalty in retaliation for Brandon Montour shoving him. Matthew Wood made his debut with the Kraken, facing a first NHL game without recording a point. The Kraken bounced back following a 6-2 loss to Calgary on October 30, which remains the team's first overtime defeat this season.
Matthew Wood was recently acquired by the Kraken, exchanging Shane Wright with the Nashville Predators. The next matchups include the Kraken hosting the Rangers on Saturday and the Flames hosting the Ducks on Friday.
