Joey Daccord Post Game Interview, Win Over Pittsburgh in Seattle. Seattle, WA - In a high-stakes showdown between two competitive teams, Seattle took control hosting the Pittsburgh Penguins, delivering a commanding 4-1 victory at Climate Pledge arena Saturday afternoon. With both Joey Daccord and Joel Blomqvist between the pipes, the game began in a tense stalemate. The first period saw no goals, as both teams battled hard but failed to capitalize. The Kraken’s Oliver Bjorkstrand, who has been a consistent threat against the Penguins with eight points (5g/3a) in 21 career games, finally broke the deadlock, scoring the first goal of the game. But Pittsburgh’s captain, Sidney Crosby, responded with a goal of his own, tying things up at 1-1 and keeping the Penguins in the hunt. Vince Dunn would then put Seattle back on top, notching his fifth goal in just eleven games, pushing the Kraken to a 2-1 lead. As the game moved into the third period, Seattle seized control. Eeli Tolvanen, who has been a force for the Kraken against Pittsburgh this season, scored again to make it 3-1. Tolvanen has now found the back of the net in both matchups against the Penguins.. Matty Beniers sealed the win with a final goal, stretching the lead to 4-1 and putting the game out of reach for the Penguins.
