Daccord Posts Win over Blue Jackets
Joey Daccord stopped 30 of 32 shots in Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets. The Kraken jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period, though Yegor Chinakhov scored twice on Daccord in the third to make it interesting. This was Daccord’s second win in his last six outings after hitting a bit of a rough patch. The 27-year-old improved to 15-8-9 with a 2.36 GAA and a .920 save percentage over 33 contests. Philipp Grubauer has backed him up over the last week, but it’s unclear when head coach Dave Hakstol might give Daccord some well-earned rest.
Blackwood Starting Tuesday
Mackenzie Blackwood will protect the home net Tuesday versus Seattle, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. Blackwood has won his past two outings, having stopped 60 of 65 shots in that span. Through 31 games played this season, he has supplied a 7-17-3 record with a 3.63 GAA and an .896 save percentage. The Kraken rank 27th in the league with 2.84 goals per contest this campaign.
