The Kraken couldn’t get much going Monday night at Climate Pledge Arena, falling 5-2 to the Dallas Stars. The Stars took four points from back-to-back games in Seattle while the hosts managed one, from Saturday’s overtime loss.
The Kraken penalty kill, which had been on a hot streak of late, melted down to the tune of three goals against. It went 1-for-4. Seattle’s power play was scoreless on two attempts.
A truly dysfunctional goal put the Stars up 1-0. The Kraken tried to dump the puck into the Stars’ zone but sent it off Jaden Schwartz’s backside as he went off for a line change. Dallas’ Evgenii Dadonov wiped out on the center ice logo keeping it headed in the correct direction.
