KrakenNetminders Under Siege: Who Stood Tall and Who Was Left Exposed
Thompson, Lankinen and Daccord tell divergent stories about saves made and structure missing around them
Tonight split cleanly between goalies who had to carry their clubs and those who were beaten by traffic in front of them.
Joey Daccord was the other side of the ledger: his strong showing shows he was forced into action and delivered, making several critical saves that masked defensive lapses.
The takeaway for fans: some goalies were asked to do more work than others; when the team in front of them held together the result looked different. Seattle’s team context shows the Kraken have balanced scoring and timely goaltending while sitting 4-2-0 with a +9 goal differential through six games, and that depth has helped them in games where the goalie had to be leaned on.
