Seattle Kraken commit to a defense-first strategy under Lane Lambert and notch another home win at Climate Pledge Arena. Can this tactical focus propel them up the Pacific Division standings? 

Erica L. Ayala spotlights standout performances from Joey Daccord in net and the leadership of Jordan Eberle and Jaden Schwartz, both tallying 10 points through the first 12 games. With mention of Matty Beniers and key contributions from the deepening forward lines, the Kraken’s renewed defensive discipline takes center stage. 

The episode raises pressing questions about Berkly Catton’s role amid shifting lines and the looming return of Jared McCann. Are the Kraken simply plugging roster holes, or can Catton carve out a permanent spot? 

As Seattle prepares to face the high-scoring San Jose Sharks, Erica L. Ayala previews the clash of styles—stingy Kraken defense versus Sharks attack—and asks whether Seattle’s system can convert defensive identity into offensive firepower.
