Mandatory Credit: Steven Bisig-Imagn Images Joey Daccord made 35 saves as the Seattle Kraken defeated visiting Carolina 2-1 on Monday, ending to the Eastern Conference-leading Hurricanes' 12-game point streak (10-0-2).
Kaapo Kakko and Ben Meyers scored and Adam Larsson had two assists for Seattle, which improved to 2-0-0 on a six-game homestand. Defenseman Jamie Oleksiak set a career high with 11 hits, and he blocked three shots.
Nikolaj Ehlers scored for Carolina, which had a five-game winning streak snapped. Frederik Andersen stopped 13 of 15 shots as the Hurricanes opened a four-game Western swing.
The Hurricanes outshot Seattle 13-7 in a scoreless first period.
The Kraken opened the scoring on a 2-on-1 rush at 3:22 of the second. Kakko carried the puck into the offensive zone on the right wing and beat Andersen with a wrist shot from the inside top of the faceoff circle.
Seattle appeared to take a 2-0 lead when Jaden Schwartz tapped in a pass from Kakko with a man advantage at 8:00, but the Hurricanes challenged the call and a quick video review determined the Kraken were offside when entering the offensive zone.
The Kraken did score 48 seconds later.
Meyers carried the puck up the middle of the before passing to Frederick Gaudreau on the right wing. Meyers took a return pass and his initial shot from close range was stopped by Andersen, but Meyers' backhanded rebound bounced off the right post and then off defenseman Alexander Nikishin, who was on both knees in the crease, before finding the net.
The Hurricanes got on the scoreboard at 18:30 of the second.
Jordan Martinook got the puck behind the Seattle net and tried to send a pass into the slot but nearly fanned on it. The puck trickled toward Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn, who would have had an easy clearance, but it went under his stick and right to Ehlers, who snapped a wrist shot past Daccord from the high slot.
Kraken defenseman Ryan Lindgren missed his third consecutive game due to an upper-body injury.
