Seattle Kraken lose 4th straight game in 6-2 defeat to Golden Knights

The Seattle Kraken's difficulties continued as they lost 6-2 to the Vegas Golden Knights on December 21, 2024, marking their fourth straight defeat. The game began poorly for the Kraken, who initially tied the score at 1-1 but quickly fell behind after the Golden Knights scored three unanswered goals in the first period, led by Mark Stone's goal and two assists. Although Seattle's Vince Dunn and Jaden Schwartz managed to score, their efforts were insufficient to change the outcome. Goalie Philipp Grubauer made 29 saves but dropped to a disappointing 3-10-0 this season. The loss emphasized Seattle's struggle to recover from deficits, as they now hold a record of 1-17-1 when trailing after two periods.

Meanwhile, the Golden Knights strengthened their position in the Pacific Division with this victory, now leading by four points over the Los Angeles Kings. Both teams face crucial matchups ahead as they continue their NHL campaigns.
