• 0:49
  Speaker 1: with you back for the Coors Light landing in Section
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: 20 on this Saturday with a crack and come in
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: right now off a torrent start to begin this year.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: 7-3 and 1, 15 points. Right now looking to go
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: 3-0 on their four-game homestand. Right now also aiming for
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: four wins in their first five games at home and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: also looking to snap a seven-game winless skid at home
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: against Minnesota that dates back a while. The Wild coming
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: in 7-3-1, 14 points. They are tied for first right
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: now in the Central, and as Everett mentioned, they're trying
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to get off the mat right now in their five-game
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: road trip standing at 0-1-1. Well, just like on Tuesday,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Thursday night, offering no difference in how this game played out.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: The Kraken owning a multi-goal lead at one point, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: it was gone by period three. But late in that
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: third period, here comes Mackie Samaskevich against the Mammoth.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Now Seattle breaks it up the right side.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: McMahon shoots, that one through the pads of Mimalka.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Goes off the side of the goal, McMahon.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Again, back door, scores! Mackie Sanoskevich goes toward the goal.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Crashing the net, he'll finish the play. And the Kraken
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: regain their lead.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: It's a 4-3 edge with 5.25 left in regulation.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Well, Bobby McMahon with tons of speed down that left side.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: He's got a 2-on-1, but he's got to step on
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: the mammoth defense when he opts for the shot. Like
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: he said, Vemelka leaks that one out.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: That was your game winner, ultimately, in a 5-3 Kraken
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: win over Utah, where the Kraken survive a third-period jump
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: scare for the second consecutive night. They are now 6-0-1
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: when scoring first, which tells you a pretty important ingredient
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: here to success early on for this season, as the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Kraken also got their offense that night from Jordan Eberle.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Matty Benir is off of not one, but two filthy
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: passes or plays from Kapo Kako and Berkley Catton, plus
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: also Brandon Montour scoring a five-on-three power play goal After
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Sam Miskevich's goal, it was Freddie Gaudreau wrapping things up
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: with an empty netter as the Kraken surviving Utah's comeback
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: by two goals from Logan Cooley. Also in a crazy
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: third period where both teams had a goal disallowed after
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a coach's challenge. By the way, Philip Grubauer looking solid
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in that once again with a 33 save effort. So
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the meaning of today for the Kraken, it is to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: get ready for a bigger test right now in a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: big stretch. They're right now playing... in a three-game run
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: where they face teams above. 500 in Utah, Minnesota, or Toronto,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: where their record combined is 19-11-4. So far, so good
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: as they enter a three-game series with the Wild here
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for this regular season and try to reverse course after
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Minnesota swept them last year in three games and outscoring
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the Kraken 12-5. Last time the Kraken won against the Wild,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you've got to go back to October 12th of 2024
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: when the Kraken beat them 5-4 in Minnesota, and the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Kraken with that trying to snap a five-game winless skid
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: overall here in this series. Nonetheless, the Kraken offense is
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: rolling right now. They are tied for fourth in goals
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: per game in the NHL, 3.8. Also, five-on-five goals. They
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: own 32 of them. That is second best as well
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: in the NHL, so the facts certainly say they are
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: producing up and down the lineup. They will, though, however,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: endure a shakeup yet here for this game. As Everett
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: now mentioned, Jared McCann will not play. Lower body injury
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: sustained Thursday. His timeline is due to be determined. With that,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Curtis Douglas is in, it looks like, his first game
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: since October 4th, and that also shifts more things around.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: The Kraken, four lines. Three of them are affected, but
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: now Capococco looks like he'll go to Matty Beneers' line
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: with Jordan Eberle. Ryan Winterton then now taking the place
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of Kako on Berkley Catton's line with Shane Wright. And
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: then for good measure, Curtis Douglas, who is then looking
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: like he'll play with Freddie Gaudreau and Ben Myers. With
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yanni Newman also called up, but looking like he may
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: sit this one out tonight after scoring nine goals in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: nine games at the AHL level. And for good measure
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on the blue line, K.L. Fleury is back in for
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: this one with Billy Odovinan taking a seat. And Cale
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Fleury here for his first game since October 17th. Crack
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of storylines first off again with winning the battle through
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: two periods. The trends say they have been solid first
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: 40 minutes. 6-0-1 when scoring the first goal of the game.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: 15 goals in period one. That's tied for best in
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the NHL. 11 goals in period two. Tied for ninth
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: best in the NHL. For the third period, 17 goals against.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: That's tied for most given up in the NHL. So
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a fast start is certainly imperative. Here's more from Chandler
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Stephenson mentioning his observations on comparing the first 40 minutes
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to the last 20.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think they're both really good skaters, so
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: they're using their speed and creating ice, just opening things up,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: and they're both shooters, so it kind of makes it
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: easy to find one of them, and they usually put
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: it in the back of the net, so things have
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: been going good right now, and just trying to kind
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: of ride that wave.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Stevenson mentioning more, by the way, on his line right
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: there where he's the only one unaffected here for this
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: game with him, Bobby McMahon and Mackie Samaskevich. And Stevenson
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: right now owning eight points or points in eight games
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: out of 11. The Kraken, by the way, 6-1-1 when
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: he's on the board. And that's our second story line
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: here for this game. McMahon, by the way, on the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: left side looking to snap out of a four-game goal
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: scoring drought. Mackie Samaskevich as well owning four goals in
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: four home games. By the way, he's got goals. in
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: back-to-back games. Our third storyline, Freddie Gaudreau against the Wild.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Last seven games, seven points right now for him and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: facing his former team for tonight. His next goal will
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: match last season's total of seven, which was accomplished in
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: 68 games. Today for Gaudreau is only game number 12.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Here's more from Gaudreau about facing his former team where
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: he said originally it was just about hockey, but he
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: knows how the Kraken had to respond defensively whether the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Wild's top offensive personnel get over the boards or somebody
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: else does.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: You obviously got to know when they're on the ice.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: They're special players. You can make plays out of not much.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: You just got to know when they're on the ice.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: I think with our team, the main emphasis is we
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: got to play our game. We can't overthink about those things.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: We just got to be playing cracking hockey, and that's it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Joey Decord will be in net for this one and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: looking for his first win since October 11th when he
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: stopped 33 shots against the Washington Capitals and against the Wild.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: His record 2-4 in six matchups. We'll come back in
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a bit and take a look at Minnesota after this.

  Speaker 7: Ever see people move an umbrella at a tailgate to
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: cover the beer coolers or fill their only sink in
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: a hotel room with ice? It's actually kind of crazy
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: the lengths people will go to make sure their beer
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: is ice cold. But no matter what people do, one
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: thing is pretty clear. Because it's not a beer unless
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: it's a cold beer. That's why the Coors Light Mountains

• 10:35
  Speaker 1: with you back at Climate Pledge Arena. And time now
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: for a look at the Wild where last year a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: 46 win season got them to the second round of
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. And the biggest challenge here for them can
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: they get Quinn Hughes locked up before his contract is
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: up and maybe he moves on. A big add though
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: for them. Blake Coleman, Stanley Cup winner twice with Tampa Bay.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And also a trade from Calgary where they got Ole
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Matta for Jake Middleton. But by far and away, their
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: big story as far as their production, their top line.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson-Eck, and Matt Boldy. Kaprizov owning 45
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: goals last season. Boldy owning 42. Eriksson-Eck at 51 points.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And Kaprizov right now is on a tear to begin
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: this season. 11 goals leading the NHL. Boldy, by the way,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: also owning 9 points and 11. But don't discount their defense.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: They're right now at 2.4 goals against us. Fifth best
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in the league entering today. Five on five goals allowed.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: 15 only. Tie for fourth fewest in the NHL. And
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: by the way, they owned a 42-4-10 record last year
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: when allowing three goals or less in regulation. That was
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: second best in the NHL. So as always, from what
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: we have seen from them, they know how to defend.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: But life was pretty tough for them last time out,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: losing to Calgary 2-1. They had penalty box issues in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that game. Three penalties in a row taken back in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the first period. Only goal scored for them, Michael McCarron,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: as Kaprizov had his seven-game point streak snapped. And despite that,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: they got Jared Spurgeon and Mata back from injury. but
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: are still missing players like Brock Faber, Marcus Foligno, Nick Foligno,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Max Shavanoff, and goaltender Phillip Gustafson. While storylines first off
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: begin with their top line, Kaprizov's got 17 points in
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: 12 games against the Kraken, Boldy 17-12 in this matchup,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Erickson Eck 13-13. This line can certainly be a handful.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Quinn Hughes' impact, he's on milestone watch. He needs two
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: points to get to. 500 for his NHL career. And
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: against the Kraken, he has been tough as well with
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: 10 points in 14 games. And plus also tomorrow is
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the second game of back-to-back. Guess where? In Vancouver, where
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: he previously played. So maybe the question of where his
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: headspace could be is lingering here for this one heading
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: into the opening faceoff. Here's more from Hughes on the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: state of his headspace right now in a contract year.
• 13:03
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I think just I'm where I've always been, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 12: I'm excited right now. My two feet are planted here
• 13:09
  Speaker 12: in Minnesota, and, you know, something could happen soon. I'm
• 13:12
  Speaker 12: not really too sure, but I'm really enjoying playing here,
• 13:16
  Speaker 12: and I love playing with, you know, you see Brode, Spurge,
• 13:19
  Speaker 12: and when Brock comes back, there's a lot of things
• 13:21
  Speaker 12: that are set up nicely for me to have success individually.
• 13:25
  Speaker 12: And as a team, I think we've got a great team.
• 13:28
  Speaker 12: The first thing is you want to get in the playoffs,
• 13:29
  Speaker 12: but I would think that we have a chance to
• 13:31
  Speaker 12: win this year. And then you see when Heinze and
• 13:34
  Speaker 12: Cappy load us up with Kirill and Boldy and Eck.
• 13:36
  Speaker 12: That's probably the most fun hockey I've ever played, just
• 13:40
  Speaker 12: playing with those guys and going out there and trying
• 13:43
  Speaker 12: to compete with those guys, make plays. That's really, really
• 13:47
  Speaker 12: fun stuff for me. So I'm really enjoying it right
• 13:50
  Speaker 12: now and just taking my time. And we'll see where
• 13:53
  Speaker 12: it goes. But I wouldn't be surprised if something happens soon.
• 13:57

• 15:49
  Speaker 14: is taking your focus away from the excitement on the ice,
• 15:52
  Speaker 14: the Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling has resources and support
• 15:55
  Speaker 14: that can help. Real help, real hope. Visit keepitfunwa.org. Keep
• 16:00
  Speaker 14: it fun, Kraken fans. If you bet, bet responsibly. Don't

• 16:06
  Speaker 9: This is Jared McCann.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Seattle Kraken Hockey on the Kraken Audio Network.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Kraken and Minnesota Wild meeting for the first of three
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: times this season as Seattle continues a four-game homestand. Minnesota,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: game three of a five-game road trip. Everett Fitzhugh, Big
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Al Kodisky alongside Kraken trying to stay hot. 7-3-1 this season.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Best start.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: In franchise history. Al, how in the world can they
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: keep it going?
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I want to see some team
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: pressure tonight. Use that team pressure. The Wild are a
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: team that can make you pay if you give them
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: time and space. You've got to close gaps quickly to
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: create pressure. Hunt in packs, finish checks, and make every
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: puck touch feel like someone handed you a hot grenade.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: One guy pressures, the next guy supports, and the third
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: guy cleans up the chaos. Make Minnesota so uncomfortable that
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: they start treating the puck like a black widow spider
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: in your hand. Secondly, use team speed. The Kraken need
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: to put their afterburners on and make the Wild chase
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: all night. Quick puck movement, aggressive skating, and smart decisions
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: through the neutral zone can turn Minnesota's defensive structure into
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: a tent without a long pole. Don't slow the game
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: down to Minnesota's liking. Make them skate, turn, and burn.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: If the Kraken keep their feet moving, the Wild will
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: be seeing more backs than a chiropractor. And then third,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Defend from 200 feet away. We heard Lane Lambert talk
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: about this today. Defense starts at the moment the Kraken
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: lose the puck at the offensive end of the ice.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Back check hard, close passing lanes, and make life miserable
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: starting in the offensive zone through the neutral zone before
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: the Wilds can build their speed. Nobody gets a free
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: pass to the Kraken crease tonight. That blue paint isn't
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: a sandbox at the park. Every player needs to buy
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: into the defensive commitment from the offensive zone all the
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: way back to Joey Decord. Bottom line is pressure Minnesota
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: like a debt collector. Skate like you're late for a
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: parent pickup and defend all 200 feet like your success
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: depends on it. The Kraken need a five-man commitment, relentless pursuit,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: and legs that don't quit when the game gets uncomfortable.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Make the Wild earn every block of ice, every scoring chance,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: and every breath near the net. Four games at home
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: mean it's time to continue to make the deep a
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: place opponents visit.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: At their own peril.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know, that late parent pickup man, especially when
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: they start charging you on the minute.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: You're breaking some speed laws, partner.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: Let me tell you.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Philip Grubauer, he has started four of the last five games.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Joey DeCorp will get his shot back in net.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: You and I and Mike Benton.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Talked about that on Kraken Weekly yesterday. But a big
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: opportunity for him to get back in a groove and
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to play against a really strong opponent here, in Minnesota.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Joey Decord coming into the night with a 3-8-9
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: goals against average and an 8-9-2 save percentage, and you
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: know he doesn't like those numbers. He wants to see
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: it below 3 and above 900 on that save percentage.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Tonight could be the night that he does that. He
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: has a good game.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: And we talk about Minnesota Wild, that top line for them, Kaprizov, Erickson, Eck,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: and Matt Boldy. That's going to be hard. They've combined
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: for 18 goals tonight. this season for the Minnesota Wild.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: 18 of their 32 goals have come from that top line.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: So for Seattle, you might not be able to shut
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: them down, but you're going to have to try.
• 19:23
  Speaker 15: And slow them down.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you absolutely are.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: We talked about Kaprizov averaging one goal a game. Matt
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Boldy has had 51 shots on goal through those 11 games.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: We talked about Quinn Hughes running the offense from the
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: blue line. Seattle has to stay disciplined, forecheck Minnesota's defense,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: and make Ballstead fight through all the traffic that they
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: can throw in front of him.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: You know who keeps us disciplined?
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Mike Benton!
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Mike Benton back with the Coors Light landing.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Section 20, he's standing by. He's got more for you.

  Speaker 2: a big win a couple nights ago just take us
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: through your thoughts on that performance another third period uh
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: lead loss but you were able to come back and get.
• 22:46
  Speaker 18: The win in that game yeah um you know again
• 22:49
  Speaker 18: showed some good resilience in terms of you know when
• 22:54
  Speaker 18: we did you know get scored on a couple times
• 22:56
  Speaker 18: early we came back and i thought we played really
• 22:59
  Speaker 18: well from that point on um.
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: But overall, I thought.
• 23:03
  Speaker 18: The game was a solid game. They're a good hockey team.
• 23:08
  Speaker 18: They can make plays. And certainly, through the first 40 minutes,
• 23:14
  Speaker 18: I really liked our hockey game. We didn't give them
• 23:18
  Speaker 18: too much. Our first period was outstanding. We've been getting
• 23:22
  Speaker 18: off to good starts, and we have to continue to.
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: Get off to good starts.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: No Jared McCann tonight. Can you just take us through
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: what you lose with him not in the lineup?
• 23:30
  Speaker 18: Well, you know, I mean, obviously he's a franchise-leading scorer
• 23:35
  Speaker 18: all the time. You know, he's right up there in points.
• 23:39
  Speaker 18: He's a power play guy for us. Plays in all
• 23:42
  Speaker 18: important situations, so it's a big loss for our team.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Looking at your line rushes this morning, it looks like
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Ryan Winterton will move up to that line. Kapokako as
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: well will move up a little bit in the lineup.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: You've talked a little bit the last couple of games
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: about guys earning more opportunity and earning promotions, if you will,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: into bigger spots. What does that say about how they've
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: been playing with their lines the last couple of games,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and what are you looking for in a Winterton, in
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: a Kako, getting a more increased role here tonight?
• 24:09
  Speaker 18: Well, obviously, you know, you want to keep the.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Lines the same way. Let's get after this answer, okay?
• 24:14
  Speaker 18: The reason things have changed is because we've got an
• 24:16
  Speaker 18: injury to a top guy, so people have to move up.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: A little bit.
• 24:20
  Speaker 18: Winterton played well and has played well with Katton and
• 24:24
  Speaker 18: Wright because he has that speed.
