SEATTLE — A stretch of six wins in 11 games heading into Saturday’s game against the Calgary Flames isn’t necessarily “what we’ll write home about,” Seattle Kraken coach Dave Hakstol said when he met the media beforehand.
What he meant was that while it represented a step in the right direction, it is not the team’s long-range goal to play roughly .500 hockey.
Still, what he also said is that the 6-5 run represented a measure of progress in an inaugural season that has been more of a challenge than many might have expected during the optimism of last spring, when the team’s roster was first assembled.
