The Seattle Kraken will welcome the Arizona Coyotes to Climate Pledge Arena for an NHL game on Monday. The Seattle Kraken lost 1-3 in their last game over the Kings. The victory by Los Angeles likely ended Seattle’s hopes of catching the Kings in the standings. Los Angeles moved eight points ahead of the Kraken with six games remaining while Seattle has a game in hand. The Kraken’s path to the playoffs is likely one of the two wild cards in the Western Conference. “It’s a real disappointing loss, but in saying that this group knows what it takes,” Seattle coach Dave Hakstol said. “There’s there’s enough guys that have been in here. They know what it takes.”
Copley faced a limited number of dangerous chances with most of Seattle’s shots coming from well away from goal. But when he needed to make a big save, Copley was solid. He stuffed Eeli Tolvanen on a breakaway in the opening moments of the third period and later mater a sprawling glove save on Jordan Eberle during a delayed penalty against the Kings. “We were working really hard in our (defensive) zone for the full 60 and I think that’s how we’re gonna have to win games here coming down the stretch,” Copley said. “They’re gonna be tight games. They’re gonna be hard fought battles. So I think that’s just kind of how we wanted to play defensively.”
Seattle ended up capitalizing on the penalty and ended Copley’s shutout hopes as Oliver Bjorkstrand scored on a rebound with 11:35 left, his 18th goal of the season. Copley came up with a key stop on Daniel Sprong with about 5 minutes left and withstood Seattle’s charge in the closing moments with an extra attacker leading to Fiala’s clinching goal.
The Arizona Coyotes on the other hand lost 2-7 against the Sharks in their last game. J.J. Moser and Milos Kelemen scored for Arizona, which has lost seven in a row and its last three at home (0-5-2). Kelemen’s goal was the first of his career. Ivan Prosvetov had 24 saves and took his first loss of the season in four starts. “We didn’t have much,” Coyotes coach Andre Tourigny said. “No emotion, no life, no spirit. Nothing.”
Peterson’s goal came on the power play after Laurent Dauphin was called for holding. Logan Couture and Erik Karlsson assisted, with Karlsson picking up his 70th assist and his 92nd point, the latter already a record for San Jose defensemen. Criscuolo made it 3-0 when he came in alone on Prosvetov after Arizona’s Nick Schmaltz turned the puck over at the blue line.
Arizona took advantage of its power play chance in the first period, when J.J. Moser scored his seventh goal of the season. Matias Maccelli and Victor Soderstrom had the assists for the Coyotes. Just eight seconds into the second period, Arizona’s Christian Fischer went to the penalty box for tripping and Gushchin scored at 1:41.
