Streaks were made to be broken and a couple of them were broken late Monday night as the Carolina Hurricanes lost to the Seattle Kraken, 2-1.
The Canes had earned points in 12 straight games up to this night. The team was undefeated with Jaccob Slavin in the lineup up until this game. Both streaks are history now.

The Hurricanes outshot the home team by a 36-15 margin (shots on goal) but could only solve Kraken goalie, Joey Daccord once when Nikolaj Ehlers scored late in the second period.
Give Daccord credit, he looked very good and has now won seven of his last eight starts.
Head Coach, Rod Brind’Amour decided to break up the previously indicated goalie rotation with Brandon Bussi and started Frederik Andersen for the second game in a row.
Andersen allowed two goals on the 15 shots he faced.
The Kraken only had a total of 21 (5v5) shots attempted all game, the lowest amount the Hurricanes have allowed this season.
The Canes had a total of 71 attempted shots.
