NHL Preseason Highlights | Kraken vs. Flames – September 23, 2025

Calgary had a split squad situation with Edmonton on Sunday. They were one up and one down. The Kraken coming off a win over Vancouver. Stevenson, Tolvin, and Marchman and JT. Great possibilities. Hold your thought. Coronado shot, a blocker save for Grubower. Now you can go. Yeah, you take a look down the middle of Stevenson. Obviously a great two-way player. His vision top notch when it comes to the Kraken and the rest of the NHL as well. I love what Marchment can bring. You talked about Tobin and his physicality. He’s got a great shot just combining all three of those players. Josh Mahura from well out and no problem. A clean look for Dustin Wolf and the Flames will buzz out in the person of Connor Zerry. He’ll kick it out to Justin Kirkland. An easy pad save for Grubower, but he did spit out a rebound. Played three games at the American Hockey League level last year, one in the playoffs. Ken goes wide with a shot turned out by Walt. Cton out of the corner in a January trade last year along with Joel Faraby. Puck is lifted in. It’s bounces off Billy Elin and right to Grubower. There’s a western hockey league flavor to this Kraken roster tonight. Rory Karens who made his NHL debut last season. It’s tipped in the point shot tipped out in front. Excellent traffic. Jagor Sharon Govich will get the goal as Hunter Bruce Stevich let it fly from the point and the Flames strike first. Well, there just was a tip opportunity before the break for Zer. He wasn’t able to get it in the high slot from the wing to the D. There’s the tip right out in front. Just not close enough to Sharon Go. Not able to pick up the stick. Free out in front. That tip ends up going past. You see Flurry just getting a little bit too late. Pushes him out. Not able to get in front of that shot. They will sneak that one past Philip Grubower. Zer now load to high play. Bruce Stevich for ball with a shot seen all the way and caught by Philip Grubower. The Flames stayed in it last year with a ton of structure. And that’s one of the goals for Lane Lambert, right? In terms of how he wants the Kraken to play as a fiveman unit. A high shot taken by Price from the boy and a good save through traffic. Yeah, Edzo would say he’s got that great shot. Why not? Grubower says no on Zary. Ball shot blocked by Winterton and it comes back out to center ice. And we did get to see a little bit of him going on with the penalty kill towards the end of the year. So getting more time out on the ice. You know, that’s just one more one more opportunity for you. Again, can score short-handed as well with that shot. Kevin Ball goes deep. Riker Evans reads the play for the Kraken. kicks the puck. Frost tied up by Berkeley Kton. Frost Coronado and tight. Good save by Grimau. He gets the puck back from Kton and stops play against Ken one-on-one as soon as he beats there. You see the push from Evans and then right there off of able to take the stick away allow Grubower to get to this puck. Coronado if he had a little bit more time. You see going onto that back post. Oranado clustered by on Hubbero correct with a shot put off by Groove twice. He comes up big three times at the end right at the horn off Jonathan Hubedo important. Yeah, you look at even just going up last year in the games that he was able to play. He can help you out when it comes to faceoffs, the penalty killing aspect, forchecking and he’s been around. and he knows what his game is, what he’s the coaches need and they expect out of him and each time he comes up that’s what he’s going to bring. Stretches out the ice for Matt Vine in front. Rory Karens pounded by Riker Evans and the puck is frozen by Philip Gerbower. Springs Rory Karens through the middle defensively marked is by Riker Evans. Cartier pickpocketed by Zary in front. Gerau says no on Brenine. A penalty of coming here against the Kraken out of the corner. Gberdo correct. Coronado with a shot shouldered by Grubower. Out of play. They get their second unit out. Bruce Devich for Zeri. Go downhill a bit on Freddy Gdro. Hunter. Bruce Devich with a shot. Fought off. The rebound taken care of by Freddy Gdro gets it all the way back out after Grubower who has been giving up a few rebounds tonight did so comes out through center. Karens it rolls in. Rory Karens scores on a fortuitous bounce. Rory Karens gets a power play goal. Calgary has a two to one lead. going to end up breaking up the original rush. See the sticks collide. The puck ends up just bouncing right back onto the tape of Kieran. See him skating through. There’s the first poke check. The puck bounces right back to him. Philip Gubower does have his stick out. He looks like he wants to go for a poke check here. Quick play to the forehand. He’s able to elevate that one up and over. Just a good bounce there for Karen. Who’s nets off to the wall cut off by Marchman Winterton at back of the goal. A wrap chance tonight. in a bit by Wol. It’s centered again. Now Sam Hanzek going wide of Kale Flurry.

Ty Cartier out of the corner defers. Freddy Vro in front. Wolf says no. Braden Pal out to center off Kier accepted by Morton. San Morton with a shot kicked down by Murray. There’s some talk that both Conor McDavid and Leon Dryidle will dress in that game for the Oilers. It kicks off right here at 6 p.m. Jonathan Huberdone. Pack of the goals double team. Coronado has it again. He’ll move it for Frost. Morgan Cross sends it across. They score as Coronado as the Flames and the old wheel going. Morgan Frost put it right on the money and Matt Coronado. Flurry wants to go behind the net, but you don’t want to chase the player right there. Trying to hand him off to Riker Evans. The pass ends up making it through. And Coronado with an excellent shot there. The right play by Flurry. try to meet him on the other side. Just a little bit too much time. You give players that much time to make the pass across and not a whole lot that Matt Murray can do. Picked up by Goyette. Ubero down low. Coronado will settle it. Move it. Ubero in tight. Shut down by Matt Murray. Lane. Lambert goes for the hook here. Be so pleases. Now Rayoff with a shot. Good stop holding the short side by Owens. hand eye beforehand as well. Even to be able to get the shot as you see the pass go through. It’s in the air. He knocks it down, corrals it, sends it right into the crest of save. But again, you get to see a little skill there. And the hand eye settles the puck down. It was bobbling a little bit there. 242 left in this third period. Former Dallas Star Marchman broken up by Hanzac. He sets up Morton who hits the target. 41 Calgary. [Music] [Applause] Turnover skating the puck up the ice as Marshman tries to go back to his back end. Holick sends it over to Morton. See Ali Tolman just trying obviously a forward in a more of a defensive posture. Not necessarily used to that. He’s just off the angle a bit. not able to get a blocked shot there as he tries to kick the leg out. That’s a situation where you get your opportunities. It’s a little bit of practice as well for the Cracker. You get into those six off five situations. That’s off for Kirkland. Zi with a shot blocked by Ottoin in front. Zi again backhands it. Murray shuts it down. 4 seconds left here and this one goes to the home side. Will the bracket go to one and one in preeason? [Music]
