It took less than six minutes for Daniel Sprong and company to serve notice Tuesday night that the Kraken’s lack of a home-ice advantage would soon be a thing of the past.
By that point, the Kraken had already notched goals by Jamie Oleksiak and Morgan Geekie after coming out flying with probably the best early energy displayed this season. And once Sprong showed off his deke moves on a third Kraken goal in the second period of this 5-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres, it was evident their first Climate Pledge Arena victory of the season was assured.
Sprong also drew an assist on the early Oleksiak goal, hustling after a loose puck and getting it back out to the high slot. From there, a towering Oleksiak wristed it past the glove of Sabres goalie Eric Comrie.
