On January 1, 2024, the Seattle Kraken celebrated a historic 3-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights at the NHL Winter Classic held at T-Mobile Park. Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord not only achieved the first shutout in Winter Classic history, but also boasted a .945 save percentage. The win extended the Kraken's point streak to nine games (6-0-2), setting a new franchise record. Prior to the game, the Golden Knights had won only one of their last six games. Both teams made memorable entrances, with the Golden Knights in Elvis costumes and the Kraken highlighting Seattle's maritime culture. The game captivated a sellout crowd of 47,313 fans, who braved near-freezing temperatures to witness the Kraken's first Winter Classic win in team history.

Final, 3-2 Vegas. The Golden Knights end the losing skid. Logan Thompson under siege for the final two minutes, but Vegas prevail. 22-10-5. And a win going into the Winter Classic.
The Golden Knights got the goal, but the Kings have been carrying play. Need Vegas to dial things in here. They can’t continue to spend that much time in their own zone.
End of 1: Golden Knights 1, Kings 0 As solid of a first as you can ask. Thompson stops all seven shots, not many were dangerous, and Eichel scores to get Vegas on the board. Shots are 8-7 home team.
Golden Knights and Kings are underway in Vegas!
Kings and Golden Knights are underway!
