[February 03, 2022] Philipp
Grubauer stopped all 19 shots he faced Wednesday night in recording
the first shutout for the expansion Seattle Kraken, who beat the New
York Islanders 3-0 in Elmont, N.Y.
Seattle allowed one goal six times -- all wins -- prior to
Wednesday.
The shutout was the first for Grubauer since he had 18 saves in the
Colorado Avalanche's 6-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings on May 12,
2021. After the horn sounded Wednesday, teammates poured on to the
ice to congratulate Grubauer, with fellow goalie Chris Driedger
greeting Grubauer last and wrapping him in a hug.
Jared McCann and Vince Dunn scored early in the third period and
Mason Appleton added an empty-netter with 1.5 seconds left for
Seattle. The Kraken finished 2-2-0 on a four-game Eastern Conference
road trip and head into the All-Star break with five wins in their
past nine games (5-4-0).
Oilers 5, Capitals 3
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored a short-handed goal at 15:57 of the third
period to break a tie and lead visiting Edmonton to a victory
against Alex Ovechkin-less Washington.
Nugent-Hopkins' winning goal came on a two-on-one break with Zach
Hyman. After the original shot was stopped, Hyman sent the rebound
across the goalmouth to Nugent-Hopkins, who tapped the puck in.
Nugent-Hopkins added an empty-netter at 18:55 to clinch the victory.

Leon Draisaitl, Evander Kane and Connor McDavid also scored for the
Oilers, who extended their point streak to six games (5-0-1). Lars
Eller, Conor Sheary and Evgeny Kuznetsov scored for Washington,
which had a two-game winning streak snapped.
Flames 4, Coyotes 2
Christopher Tanev registered the tiebreaking goal and recorded three
assists while Blake Coleman scored twice and had an assist as
Calgary won its third game in a row, beating Arizona at Glendale,
Ariz.
Elias Lindholm also scored and Andrew Mangiapane recorded two
assists for the Flames, who outshot the Coyotes 50-28 to enter the
All-Star break winners in five of six. Tanev finished with the first
four-point night of his 12-year career. Only once previously had he
logged three points in a game.

Clayton Keller extended his point streak to six
games with a goal and an assist and Alex Galchenyuk scored in a
second consecutive contest for the Coyotes, but Arizona couldn't
build on ending its five-game skid Tuesday, when it halted
Colorado's 10-game winning streak with a 3-2 shootout victory.
Kings 5, Red Wings 3
Phillip Danault scored two goals to help lead Los Angeles to a road
win over Detroit. The Kings won for the third time in their last
four games while the Red Wings lost for the second time in three
games.
Arthur Kaliyev, Viktor Arvidsson and Adrian Kempe also scored for
Los Angeles, with Arvidsson adding an assist. Trevor Moore and
Austin Strand each had two assists, and Jonathan Quick made 22
saves.
The Red Wings got goals from Michael Rasmussen, Tyler Bertuzzi and
Joe Veleno. Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 40 shots in the loss.
Wild 5, Blackhawks 0
Frederick Gaudreau and Mats Zuccarello scored 2:03 apart in the
second period and Kevin Fiala and Nico Sturm scored 1:24 apart in
the third to support a 30-save shutout from Cam Talbot as visiting
Minnesota dumped Chicago.
Gaudreau, Zuccarello and Fiala each finished with a goal and an
assist to help the Wild extend their winning streak to six games.
Kirill Kaprizov also scored for Minnesota, which enters the All-Star
break on a 10-game point streak (9-0-1).
Chicago took its seventh loss in eight games (1-5-2). Marc-Andre
Fleury made 25 saves on 30 shots before yielding to Collin Delia
with 7:58 to go. Delia stopped all five shots he faced.
