A look at the game “by the numbers.”
- A strong start buoyed the Kraken’s offensive production as did a determined third period and Seattle ended the game with 49-percent of all 5-on-5 shot quality and 43-percent of all 5-on-5 shot volume.
- The Kraken created 10 scoring chances off of turnovers while only allowing five.
- Playing primarily against the Jets’ top pair and powerful line centered by Adam Lowry, the Matty Beniers line was the one to score and the one to end the game in the positive when it came to offensive advantage. They created 54.4-percent of all shot quality in their team-leading 15:49 of ice time.
- Beniers scored his third game-opening goal of the season and tied Chandler Stephenson for the most among all Kraken skaters. It was also his third goal in four periods of play against the Jets this season.
- Kakko’s primary assist was his sixth helper as a member of the Seattle Kraken; he reached that total in 13 games and matches his season total for assists last year with the Rangers (61 games played). He is four points shy of matching his total for last season (13-6-19).
- With the secondary assist, Schwartz matches his goal (13), assist (17), and point total (30) from last season in 16 fewer games played.
- Both goaltenders played well enough to earn a quality start. It was the sixteenth for Joey Daccord and league-leading twenty-fourth for Connor Hellebuyck.
- The top Kraken skaters in this game according to Game Score (via hockeystatcards.com) were Beniers (who also scored best overall), Kakko, Adam Larsson, Jaden Schwartz and Vince Dunn.
