Daccord’s perfect took place in front of a packed crowd of 47,313 at the home stadium of Major League Baseball’s Seattle Mariners, in a party-like atmosphere befitting an outdoor hockey day, with everyone playing hockey in their home market. The event was held to celebrate the rise of the city.
It’s cloudy and it’s not raining. The retractable roof is open. The temperature at puck drop is 46.1 degrees Fahrenheit.
“It really shows that this is a hockey town now,” Gould said. “amazing.”
The Kraken (15-14-9) ignited the market with five straight wins, improving to 7-0-2 in their past nine games and setting a team record for consecutive points. His batting average exceeded .500 for the first time this season.
Daccord, who moved into the No. 1 role after Philipp Grubauer suffered a lower-body injury on Dec. 10, has won four straight games with a 6-0-2 record and two shutouts in eight starts since Dec. 12. He set a team record. Longest scoring streak by a goalkeeper (Martin Jones, 7 games, January 1-14, 2023).
He left the fans iced as the packed crowd chanted “Joey, Joey, Joey.”
“It’s really the coolest thing in the world to have that,” Daccord said. “I think both Yanni and I can say we have the best fans in the world. It was fun to hear those words.”
Logan Thompson made 24 saves, all within regulation, for the Golden Knights (22-11-5), who have lost five of their past six games.
“Obviously it was a very good game yesterday with my family and all that, but I’ll always remember that game as a loser,” Las Vegas forward Jonathan Marchessault said. “So it’s really disappointing for our group.”
