Lyon Starting in Seattle
Alex Lyon will defend the road net Monday against Seattle, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press. Lyon has surrendered 11 goals on 50 shots in two consecutive losses. He has compiled a 14-8-2 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.82 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 24 outings this season. The Kraken sit 28th in the league this campaign with 2.72 goals per contest.
Daccord Makes 36 Saves vs. Bruins
Joey Daccord made 36 saves in Thursday’s 4-1 win over the Bruins. David Pastrnak opened the scoring early in the first period by banging home a rebound, but Daccord shut down the home side the rest of the way. That snapped a three-start losing streak for the 27-year-old netminder, but his lack of results recently has mostly been due to the Kraken’s offensive struggles. Over his last 10 outings, Daccord has a 2.41 GAA and .923 save percentage, but only has a 3-6-1 record to show for it. He may have simply needed a rest prior to this game after starting eight straight games from Jan. 18 to Feb. 12 before Philipp Grubauer beat the Islanders on Tuesday. If the Kraken can get both goalies playing well, that should help their pursuit of a playoff spot. Their next game is at home Monday versus the Red Wings.
