Kraken Roll Past Canadiens, Montour Scores Hat Trick
The Seattle Kraken continued their strong start to the season, rolling past the Montreal Canadiens 6-2 on Tuesday night. The victory extended Seattle's winning streak to three games and marked their fourth win in their last five outings. The star of the show was defenseman Vince Dunn, who tallied a hat trick to lead the Kraken's offensive onslaught.
Dunn Dominates, Canadiens Struggle
Dunn was a force to be reckoned with all night, displaying impressive puck-handling skills and a knack for finding the back of the net. He opened the scoring in the first period with a power-play goal, his third goal of the season. Dunn added two more goals in the second period, extending Seattle's lead to 4-1.
"It's always a great feeling to score, but to get a hat trick is something special," said Dunn after the game. "It's a testament to the hard work of our team, we're playing really well right now."
The Canadiens, on the other hand, struggled to keep pace with the Kraken's relentless attack. They managed to tie the game at 1-1 early in the first period but couldn't generate enough offensive pressure to stay in the game. Montreal's struggles continued in the second period, allowing three unanswered goals.
Kraken Maintain Momentum
Despite the lopsided score, the Kraken weren't satisfied with their performance and continued to pour it on in the third period. Jared McCann added a goal early in the period, further extending Seattle's lead. While the Canadiens were able to score a late goal to break the shutout, it was too little too late as the Kraken cruised to their convincing victory.
Key Takeaways
- The Kraken's strong start to the season continues, showcasing their ability to score goals and dominate offensively.
- Vince Dunn's hat trick is a testament to his individual talent and the team's overall offensive firepower.
