Vince Dunn scored the go-ahead goal with a two-man advantage late in the second period as the Seattle Kraken defeated the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Saturday, spoiling a historic afternoon for Sidney Crosby.
The Kraken’s Oliver Bjorkstrand, who has been a consistent threat against the Penguins with eight points (5g/3a) in 21 career games, finally broke the deadlock, scoring the first goal of the game. But Pittsburgh’s captain, Sidney Crosby, responded with a goal of his own, tying things up at 1-1 and keeping the Penguins in the hunt.
With the NHL trade deadline six weeks away, it would appear the Pittsburgh Penguins and Seattle Kraken are in a similar circumstance. They can either get it going soon, or both could be sellers come March 7.
The worst part about this game is that the Penguins did not play all that poorly. They didn't really give Seattle too many good looks all that consistently. But if they're going to win hockey games, they absolutely cannot hand opposing teams easy goals. It's that simple.
The Pittsburgh Penguins’ 4-2 loss against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday at PPG Paints Arena was a fitting conclusion to a dreadful five-game homestand that saw them go 1-3-1. This sequence of games on their own rink commanded considerable gravity.
Something to, perhaps, keep an eye on if Imama - an enforcer - is in the lineup is if the Penguins seek a bit of retribution on Seattle defenseman Adam Larsson, who took a liberty on Penguins captain Sidney Crosby away from the puck with a heavy cross-check in their last tilt.
BOTTOM LINE: The Seattle Kraken and the Pittsburgh Penguins take the ice in a non-conference matchup. Seattle is 21-25-3 overall and 11-11-3 at home. The Kraken have a -13 scoring differential, with 142 total goals scored and 155 allowed.
