In a challenging NHL game, the Seattle Kraken faced off against the New Jersey Devils, ultimately trailing behind with a score of 3-1. The game saw the Kraken's defenseman Brian Dumoulin exit early due to a lower body injury, impacting the team's performance. The Devils capitalized on this, with Tyler Toffoli breaking his team's 0-19 power play slump by scoring off a high slot slapper, assisted by a deflection from Brandon Tanev's skate and past goalie Daccord. The Devils extended their lead to 2-0 early in the second period through Jack Hughes, who scored from a difficult angle. Despite a goal from the Kraken's Borgen in the third period, the team struggled to overcome the Devils' 3-0 lead by the end of the second period. The game was marked by a significant shot disparity, with the Devils outshooting the Kraken 30-9 by the end of the second period. The Kraken's efforts were further hampered by penalties and a successful challenge by the Kraken for goaltender interference due to Haula's contact with Daccord, which overturned a potential fourth goal for the Devils. Yanni Gourde registered the first Kraken shot of the middle period with under 6 minutes to go.
