The 2024-25 NHL season has not been kind to the Seattle Kraken. They have struggled for a second straight season and are stuck in the bottom five of the standings.
Seattle (19-23-3) reached Tuesday’s final period in Pittsburgh down a single goal in front of goaltender Joey Daccord (31 saves). A pair of Kraken conversions 50 seconds apart from defenseman Jamie Oleksiak and winger Eeli Tolvanen gave them a narrow lead, then Kaapo Kakko added an empty-netter for a 4-2 victory against the Penguins.
