Joey! Joey! Joey! Joey Daccord put in another solid performance and the Kraken kept rolling, winning their 8th consecutive game by beating the Washington Capitals 4-1 on Thursday night. That ties the longest winning streak in Kraken franchise history, and Seattle is now 10-0-2 in their past 12 games.
Tye Kartye, Alex Wennberg, Justin Schultz, and Adam Larsson all scored for the Kraken. Seattle's depth has been a key factor through this win streak, providing balanced scoring and 4 lines of tough matchups for opponents.

Chris Driedger, made 37 saves in his first NHL start in nearly 20 months, backstopping the Seattle Kraken to a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames.
