The Seattle Kraken emerged victorious against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday, October 11, securing a 2-1 overtime win in a tightly contested match. Jared McCann sealed the win with just 3.8 seconds left in OT, marking his 400th career point. Here are three takeaways from the game:

1. Beniers' Strong Start

Matty Beniers had a standout performance, contributing a goal and an assist. He initiated the scoring for Seattle early in the second period during a power play. After Brayden McNabb of the Golden Knights was penalized for interference, Beniers capitalized on the man-advantage, taking a pass from Jordan Eberle and beating Vegas goalie Adin Hill. Beniers has had a strong start to the season with three points in the first two games, a stark contrast to his performance last season. This performance is promising for the young player who signed a seven-year contract with the team.

2. Daccord's Solid Goaltending

Joey Daccord's performance in goal was a key factor in the Kraken's victory. He made 26 saves, including four in overtime, denying the Golden Knights several opportunities to score. Daccord demonstrated resilience after a difficult game prior to this one.

3. McCann's Late-Game Heroics

Jared McCann's game-winning goal in overtime highlighted his scoring touch and earned him his 400th career point. With the clock winding down, Beniers fired a shot that Hill saved, but McCann was well-positioned to capitalize on the rebound, securing the win for Seattle. This goal gave the Kraken their first 2-0-0 start in franchise history.

The first period remained scoreless, with the Kraken leading in shot attempts. Pavel Dorofeyev scored for Vegas early in the third period, tying the game. Despite the Golden Knights' strong effort and Hill's 20 saves, they ultimately fell short against a determined Kraken team.
