The Chicago Blackhawks and the Seattle Kraken faced off at the United Center in their second meeting of the season. Their first meeting was only 17 days prior, where the Krakend came out with a 3-1 win in Seattle.
It made for an interesting goalie matchup, as Joey Daccord had a 5-1 record in his career against the Blackhawks, whereas Spencer Knight had a 1-2 career record against the Kraken going into the game.
But the Kraken got the best of the Blackhawks in a 3-2 win.
