The Seattle Kraken snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night. The win, only their second in the last 12 games, provided a much-needed boost for the Kraken. Here are three key takeaways from the game:

1. Daccord's Dominance in Net

Joey Daccord was undoubtedly the star of the game, finishing with an impressive 34 saves. In the first period, Daccord stood tall, turning aside several high-danger chances and keeping the game scoreless despite the Kraken's shaky defensive play. His performance allowed the Kraken to stay committed to their game plan even when the defense struggled. Without Daccord's stellar play, the outcome of the game could have been very different.

2. Timely Goals from Defensemen

The Kraken received crucial offensive contributions from their defensemen, with Ryker Evans and Ryan Lindgren finding the back of the net. Evans tied the game with a long shot through traffic early in the third period. Lindgren then scored the game-winning goal, his first as a Kraken, with a wrist shot from the top of the circle. These goals not only provided the Kraken with a lead but also showcased the team's ability to generate offense from multiple sources.

3. Stephenson's Point Streak Continues

Chandler Stephenson continued his impressive point streak, recording a goal and an assist against the Sharks. He extended his point streak to eight games and his goal-scoring streak to four games. Stephenson's consistent offensive production has been a key factor for the Kraken, providing a reliable source of scoring and playmaking. His assist on Lindgren's goal and his late goal to seal the victory highlighted his importance to the team's success.

Despite a shaky start where the Sharks had multiple scoring opportunities, the Kraken managed to regroup and secure the win. Eeli Tolvanen also contributed with a goal, giving the Kraken a 1-0 lead in the second period. The Sharks responded with goals from Adam Gaudette and Colin Graf, but the Kraken's resilience and timely scoring ultimately led them to victory. This win provides a positive step forward for the Kraken as they look to build momentum and climb the standings.
