The Seattle Kraken skated away with a 5-3 victory over the Utah Mammoth tonight, putting up a solid five goals to kick off what we hope is a monster season. It was a hard-fought contest, and our boys showed they are ready to put pucks in the net.
Kraken Light the Lamp Five Times in Victory
While the Climate Pledge Arena faithful are buzzing from the Kraken’s 5-3 win, an unbelievable moment unfolded elsewhere in the hockey world that we absolutely have to talk about. Wins like this are crucial for setting the tone early, and seeing our team put up five goals against the Mammoth is a promising sign for the Emerald City.
An Unreal Save That Demands Attention
Former Michigan State goaltender Trey Augustine, currently tearing it up for the Grand Rapids Griffins, is quickly making a name for himself. With Michal Postava getting the call-up to the Detroit Red Wings, Augustine has stepped into the starting role, and he is not wasting any time proving he belongs. On Friday night, facing down the Cleveland Monsters in overtime, Augustine pulled off what can only be described as an unreal, game-stealing save. The puck was practically in, and he flat-out denied Cleveland a game-winning goal. Talk about clutch! Now, unfortunately, the Griffins ended up losing that one in a shootout, but Augustine’s strong 36-save performance kept his team in it every step of the way. Even in a loss, that kind of highlight reel play shows you the kind of talent coming up through the ranks.
So, while we celebrate the Kraken’s 5-3 triumph tonight, it is good to remember there is incredible hockey happening all over. Our Kraken are back on the ice soon, and we are ready to see them keep that scoring touch rolling!
