the National Hockey League. They made
the playoffs in their second season 2022-
23 however have been a disappointment
since. They are on their third head coach
with him in his second season. We are
hoping for a turnaround to at least make
the playoffs again.
The Kraken drafted 50 players in the.
NHL draft which includes this year's
draft. On their 23 man roster they have
seven who were drafted by the them.
Five of the seven were from the first
draft in 2021. They have six players
which include Jordan Erberle and Jared
McCann who were in the expansion
draft who are still on the team. So
that makes 10 of the 23 players who
were not drafted either way on the team.
The Kraken opened the season Thursday
evening beating the Calgary Flames on
their home court 6-1. That is a dominance
for sure. We will have to wait how the
season will go however this a good start
for sure.
Jordan Erberle scored the first goal of
the season for the season. Vince Dunn
another expansion pick and original
Kraken scored the second goal 32
seconds later. All six goals were made
by six different players. Jared McCann
had three assists on the night. Goaltender
Joey Daccord also an expansion draft
pick stopped 24 of 25 shots on the
evening.
The Kraken's next game will be Saturday
visiting the Edmonton Oilers. The home
opener will be on Sunday against the
Flames again. Next Tuesday the Kraken
be host to the Vegas Golden Knights.
In the first half of October the Kraken
will play eight games in total. Go Kraken.
