#SeaKraken make it 3-2
Lots to unpack:
🏒 Goalie point for Grubauer
🏒 Back and forth with Ebs marks the 40th! time Ebs has assisted a McCann goal
🏒 All the McGoals on St Pattys
🏒 Great poise by McCann to get net front and finish
Bobby McMann is now the 2nd player in
@seattlekraken.com franchise history to score 1+ goal in each of their first 3 games with Seattle (Daniel Sprong - March 22-28 2022)
McMann: now the 5th player in #SEAKraken history to have points in 3-straight games to start their Kraken career
Bobby McMann is the 1st player in @seattlekraken.com franchise history to score multiple goals in their first game in a Seattle sweater.
Additionally... this is the highest point total by anyone in their #SEAKraken debut (3), besting the previous mark set by Justin Schultz (2)
Jaden Schwartz scores 0:31 into tonight's #SEAKraken game.
It's the fastest goal the Kraken have scored from the start of a game this season. 9th-fastest in franchise history
Last night #SEAKraken beat the #Canes & they snapped CAR's 12-game point streak.
It's the 2nd time in franchise history Seattle has snapped an opponent's 12+ game pt streak.
They ended #Bruins 14-game streak on Jan. 12, 2023.
SEA made the playoffs that season
(via #NHLStats)
On that opening goal, #SEAKraken franchise history:
+ Matty Beniers now has 10 goals in the month of January. Most by any Seattle skater in any month
+ Jared McCann now has 18 points in January. Most by any Seattle skater in any month
Both still have 1+ game left in January
Also... while Jared McCann has missed significant time due to injury, if you look at his goal & point production in the minutes he's played:
He is scoring at the same clip (or a smidge higher) than he did in 2022-23, when he tallied 40 goals & 70 points #SEAKraken
30 games left in the #SEAKraken regular season. Some skater "on pace for" notes:
+ Jordan Eberle: 29 goals. Has one 30+ goal season (2011-12)
+ Matty Beniers: 20 goals, 56 pts (prev. best: 57)
+ Chandler Stephenson: 20 goals (prev. best: 21)
+ Eeli Tolvanen: 47 pts (prev. best: 41)

Good news: Jared McCann practiced in a regular sweater today for #SEAKraken . Vince Dunn too.
Lane Lambert said it was good to see both participating fully. Acknowledged both would be evaluated this afternoon, “but they look pretty good”
With his OT GWG, Vince Dunn:
+ Tied Jordan Eberle & Jared McCann for most OT goals in
@seattlekraken.com history (3)
+ Notched his 200th point in a #SEAKraken sweater. 2nd player in team history to reach that level (McCann)
+ Secured SEA's 2nd ever win when scoring 0 goals at even strength
This goal is the 3rd-latest game-tying goal in
@seattlekraken.com history. Bested only by:
Chandler Stephenson (0:02 left) on Nov. 8th vs STL
Eeli Tolvanen (0:22) on Dec. 18th, 2023 at DAL
