SEATTLE — In an impressive performance, Joey Daccord secured Seattle’s first shutout of the season by stopping 24 shots as the Kraken triumphed over the Nashville Predators with a score of 3-0 on Wednesday night.

Daniel Sprong, Brandon Montour, and Yanni Gourde each found the net for Seattle, helping the team to their fifth victory in the last six games. Daccord’s performance included six saves in the opening period, eight in the second, and ten in the final frame, marking his fourth career shutout and his first since March 26 against Anaheim.

On the other side, Nashville’s Juuse Saros made 33 saves, but the team has struggled lately, losing four out of their last five games (1-2-2). Sprong broke the scoreless tie late in the second period, marking his second goal of the season and his first since being traded from Vancouver on November 8.

Montour extended Seattle’s lead by scoring just 23 seconds into the third period, registering his fifth goal of the year, tying him for the second-most goals among defensemen in the league. Gourde later sealed the game with an empty-net goal with 2:43 remaining.

Nashville nearly scored with just under ten minutes left in the third, but a review confirmed that Tommy Novak had kicked the puck into the net, negating the goal.

**Key Takeaways**

The game began on a peculiar note for the Predators as they received a rare penalty for an incorrect starting lineup. Instead of Filip Forsberg, Steven Stamkos was mistakenly listed, resulting in a two-minute bench minor for the team.

For the Kraken, Chandler Stephenson was a standout player, assisting on all three goals, showcasing his third multi-assist game this season.

**Key Moment**

The Kraken had dominated shots late in the second period, yet the score remained 0-0 until Sprong netted his goal with 4:05 left in the second. Montour delivered a pass to Stephenson, who maneuvered strategically to draw Saros in before passing to Sprong for the score.

**Key Stat**

Finishing a season-high six-game homestand, the Kraken recorded an impressive 5-1-0 record.

**Looking Forward**

Next up, the Predators will host Winnipeg on Saturday, while the Kraken are set to visit Los Angeles.
