Pheonix Copley stopped 25 of 26 shots from the Seattle Kraken and Carl Grundstrom's early third period goal served as the difference in a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night. FOX13
"They don't give up a lot off the rush and that's what you can expect at this time of year. This is kind of the type of game that I've been talking about and as you move forward ," head coach Dave Hakstol said.
The Kraken are three points clear of the Winnipeg Jets in the second Wild Card spot. They are five points clear of the Calgary Flames and six points clear of the Nashville Predators, who are the first two teams out of playoff position as the season enters its final 10 days. "They kind of sit back and play good defensively. It's hard to get chances. So you really gotta work hard for your shots and net presence and so on. So it's kind of like a playoff game," said Oliver Bjorkstrand, who scored the only goal of the night for Seattle.
However, Grundstrom picked the puck off of Brandon Tanev in the Seattle zone and snapped a goal off the bar over the shoulder of Jones to make it a 2-0 lead just over five minutes into the third period. A Daniel Sprong shot slipped through Copley and off the post to become loose in the goal crease. As Vladislav Gavrikov tried to clear the puck from danger, Oliver Bjorkstrand redirected the Gavrikov clearance by a sprawled Copley to pull within one.
