GLENDALE, Arizona — This battle for NHL basement supremacy wasn’t quite the stuff of dreams, though some Kraken players were afforded coveted chances that should define this final quarter of the season.
One such player, newcomer Daniel Sprong, got to show off his cannon slap shot on an opening period power play, then later deployed a pinpoint wrister that tied the score in the second period. Not long after, defenseman Carson Soucy added his second goal of the night to help lift his team to a 4-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes and out of a three-way tie for last place overall.
Morgan Geekie added some insurance with 7:22 to go, taking a nice cross-ice feed from Jared McCann after a faked shot and firing it into an open net.
