Red Wings-Kraken quick take: shootout spectacular goes Detroit’s way

The Detroit Red Wings attempted to push their winning streak to 7 games at the expense of the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night.

On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, Detroit time, the Red Wings had to work for their 5-4 shootout win over the Seattle Kraken. The process wasn’t pretty–Detroit gave up 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 and 4-2 leads, Joey Daccord was tremendous for Seattle in stopping 36 shots, Cam Talbot was wonderful at times and shaky at others in giving up 4 on 27…

But Raymond, Seider, Berggren and Soderblom all scored in regulation, overtime solved nothing, and the Red Wings got the only goal they needed in the shootout–from Patrick Kane, who set an NHL record for the most shootout goals in history with 53.

It was a very late-night victory for the Red Wings, but it was necessary to sweep the road trip, and Detroit did just that. 4 wins in 4 games, 7 straight overall.

In pregame warmups, Cam Talbot led the Red Wings out to the ice at Climate Pledge Arena…

No surprise here…

The Kraken don’t do a lineup announcement, so here’s Emerald City Hockey’s lineup card…

And the Red Wings revealed their lineup just before game time:

The starters and scratches were as follows:

In the 1st period, the Red Wings brought out the Dylan Larkin line, with Lucas Raymond and Marco Kasper on the wings, to oppose Jaden Schwartz, Matty Beniers, and Kaapo Kakko, with Ben Chiarot and Moritz Seider starting against Vince Dunn and Adam Larsson; Cam Talbot would battle Joey Daccord in goal.

Larkin dialed in for the opening faceoff at 10:10 PM EST and won it back to Chiarot, and Raymond tipped the puck into the Kraken zone, Kasper held in a Dunn chip-out, and Kasper was cracked in the back for his troubles, but he cycled with Larkin, Seider and Chiarot, Raymond took the puck behind the net and centered it, and Chiarot held the line, Larkin cycled to Seider, Seider chipped deep for Raymond on the left wing side, and both teams began to change lines at 55 seconds of the 1st period;

Dunn and Larsson were repelled by Copp, DeBrincat and Tarasenko; Daccord played the puck around the boards, but the Wings pressed and Seattle got a short 3-on-2 against Edvinsson and Johansson, with Edvinsson clearing and skating out until the Wings changed lines 1:45 into the 1st;

Edvinsson then reversed a dump-in, and Andre Burakovsky’s shot toward Talbot was tipped wide and Detroit broke out as Soderblom, Rasmussen and Kane regrouped as Talbot made a blocker stop and Detroit cycled through center again;

2:30 into the 1st, Berggren raced up the left wing side, but Larsson reversed on him, and the Kraken chipped the puck into the Red Wings’ end, where Seider reversed for Veleno, Larsson centered and Talbot made a great toe stop to keep the game scoreless as the puck bounced around…

Seider was leveled by Tanev away from play, no call, and the Kraken began to dominate possession and control, but only for a moment. As the Larkin line re-took the ice, Dunn took Raymond out on the right wing half boards…

And the Red Wings kept playing, with a Kraken reverse yielding a Kasper pass to Larkin in the slot, and Larkin flicked a shot through Oleksiak and Raymond at the side of the net–where Raymond tipped Larkin’s shot into the goal–to score on Daccord.

Lucas Raymond opened the scoring at 3:36 from Dylan Larkin and Marco Kasper.

The Kraken pushed hard with Burakovsky’s line working against Rasmussen, Soderblom and Kane, but Detroit regrouped after a couple of Kraken scoring chances, the Wings settled into the Kraken zone, and Daccord had to stop a good net-front jam which “forced” Cale Fleury to crack Berggren in the back.

As play continued, Berggren was right back on the ice a few shifts later with Veleno, but he was stood up, and as Marco Kasper was tripped up, Detroit pushed 6-on-4 with Larkin, Raymond, Kane, Edvinsson and Johansson cycled with Kasper, and Kane got a solid shot in on Daccord before the penalty was called.

At 7:54, Tye Kartye sat for tripping.

On the power play, Larkin’s unit started, with Kane on the wing, and Larkin tied up the draw and Seider cycled with Raymond to Kane down low, Larkin worked the bumper to Kane, back to Seider it went to Kane rt point, walks back to Seider for Raymond to Kane lw side for Larkin battling to Seider and back, for Kane deke dangle Larkin shot wide, Wings hold, Seider to Kane for DeBrincat, blocked off a skate and cleared by Seattle with 1:05 left PP;

The 2nd unit came out, and Gustafsson dropped to Kasper who pushed the puck to Rasmussen on the LW side, right side Copp for Berggren at the blueline to Kasper shot stopped, rebound Gustafsson stopped by Daccord, Kasper, Rasmussen, Copp and Tarasenko to Gustafsson, back to Tarasenko rw half boards, to Gustafsson center point Tarasenko shot blocked, to Gustafsson shot blocked, Kasper cannot hold in and that’s the power play.

Sadly, Kaapo Kakko would get away from Moritz Seider below the goal line, and Joe Veleno, Seider got his stick on the puck but Kakko swiped it back and sent it to Beniers for a one-timer and a goal at 9:28 of the 1st period.

Matty Beniers would tie it from Kakko at 9:28 of the 1st. 1-1.

As play continued, Seider got a long shot in on Daccord, but Seattle regrouped quickly and chipped the puck out of play at center ice some 11:27 of the 1st;

Edvinsson and Johansson would push the puck deep with the Kane-Rasmussen-Soderblom line battling down low, and Johansson got a long shot in on Daccord which was steered wide;

Shine, Veleno and Berggren had a good shift as well, grinding it out down low, with Shine getting a good chance…

But Seattle works well on the counter-attack, and Talbot had to gobble up a Kartye attempt;

The Kraken won the next deep zone faceoff, and Talbot made a good stop at the side of the net off an end-boards bounce;

Seattle continued and Bjorkstrand was blockered by Talbot, and Adam Larsson fired the rebound wide, against the Larkin line, no less;

Detroit then battled the Beniers line, with Copp and Tarasenko ensuring that the work of Edvinsson and Johansson would suffice;

Michael Rasmussen was dumped on the right side by Cale Fleury and was utterly baffled because Fleury got away with a pull-down hold, but that was the way the refereeing was going on Tuesday night.

After the TV timeout with 4:45 remaining, the Wings would get another shot off on Daccord from the right point;

Seattle responded, but Talbot made a smart play-and-drop-pass to Chiarot to help the Larkin line break out once, twice, Larkin got a flickering dump-in on Daccord with 3:30 remaining…

Kasper supported Gustafsson on a pinch and again, the Kraken wielded their sticks and bodies to swipe the puck away from Detroit, so the Wings changed with 2:50 left in the 1st…

Seattle flexed its muscles as Beniers and Schwartz tried to connect, forcing the Veleno line to ice the puck with 2:22 left in the 1st…

Talbot got caught behind the net with Talbot losing the puck to Schwartz after the Wings won the icing call faceoff, and Seider and Chiarot had to bail out their goaltender…

Talbot was playing the puck FREQUENTLY, even going between his own legs behind the net to set up Simon Edvinsson for a smooth outlet pass;

Raymond ripped a long shot on Daccord that was booted out, and Simon Edvinsson was tripped in the corner, so Detroit went 6-on-5, Kasper was cross-checked by Stephenson, then punched by Dunn, so Chandler Stephenson sat at 19:26 of the 1st.

On the power play, Detroit won the deep offensive zone draw as Larkin got some help from DeBrincat to steer the puck back to Moritz Seider center point, and Seider blew a slapper through Daccord with 28.4 left in the 1st period.

Moritz Seider scored in game #300, from Alex DeBrincat, at 19:30 of the 1st. 2-1 Detroit.

The Red Wings were challenged a bit by the Kraken as the period expired, but Larkin won the last-second faceoff to conclude the 1st period.

In the 2nd period, Detroit started the Larkin line and Chiarot and Seider opposite the Beniers line again, and Larkin won the draw to Chiarot, Detroit chipped and chased, but Seattle’s D took the puck out to center, Seider shot it deep into the Kraken zone, and Larkin deked and dangled a pass from Marco Kasper into the slot, where he shot a backhand shot into Daccord.

The Kraken won the next faceoff, and Chiarot intercepted a pass and nearly decapitated Kraken coach Dan Bylsma with a chip-out…

Larkin lost the defensive zone faceoff, but Seattle’s defense bumbled the puck at the blueline, affording their forwards a regroup before Chiarot turned over the puck, Seider supported him, Kasper battled Schwartz, the Kraken cycled around the side boards, and Chiarot blocked a shot, giving Raymond a chip-and-chase option 1:06 gone in the 2nd..

As play continued, Copp, Tarasenko and DeBrincat tried to stuff the puck with Tarasenko in the slot, but Copp’s pass to #11 didn’t work as Tarasenko was held up…

DeBrincat then found Tarasenko in the slot again, and Tarasenko sent the lateral pass wide of Daccord 1:48 into the 2nd…

Soderblom lost an offensive zone draw stepping in for Rasmussen, and Soderblom was stripped at center, Seattle skated in 3-on-1, and Talbot made a huge stop against Jared McCann, and Holl stood up to keep the rebound from bouncing toward the cage.

Gustafsson and Holl shoveled the next Kraken dump-in out to center, and Detroit changed, with Seider and Chiarot working together with Berggren, Veleno and Shine who cycled, tried to find Berggren in the slot, and Tanev broke that scoring chance up;

Veleno and Shine ground it out with Berggren and Chiarot, who fired a long shot that was tipped in on Daccord by Shine, and the Wings changed lines 3:30 into the 2nd, affording me some time to type as they concluded their 4-line rotation…

Though Dylan Larkin was pushed and shoved away from Daccord when he fired another shot in on the Kraken goaltender only a few seconds after Detroit completed its line change.

Talbot stopped a Larsson point shot 4:00 in, and Edvinsson, Johansson and Kasper worked together to generate a deke and dangle by Kasper, who had to avoid the Kraken goaltender and Vince Dunn as Kasper sent a shot in and avoided retaliation for bumping the Kraken goaltender…

DeBrincat got a great slot shot off on Daccord from Copp at 4:55, as the Copp line cycled well…

Elmer Soderblom then laid out Brandon Montour, who got a heavy chest hit, and Kane nearly scored on the next exchange, again, with a slot chance;

Kane put another shot in on Daccord 6:05 into the 2nd;

Seattle raced in 3-on-2 after a Michael Rasmussen trip by Cale Fleury that went uncalled–a leg kick-out trip–it would of course go the other way, Seattle racing up 3-on-2, and Seattle scored the 3-on-2 goal, of course, as Shayne Wright tied the game 2-2 off the left wing half boards at 6:29.

Wright scored from Andrei Burakovsky at 6:29 to tie the game.

On the bump-up shift, Raymond nearly scored off a slot pass that Daccord sticked away;

Seattle would push the Wings, however, and as play continued, Berggren, Veleno and Shine were all blocked off once, twice, thrice, and Shine was tripped up behind the net by Montour before Seattle chugged up the gut 3-on-2 and chose to exit their shift on a line change instead of going for a scoring chance..

And Brandon Tanev was looking to line up Simon Edvinsson at 9:47, as Edvinsson chased a Kraken dump-in in the Wings’ end, but the play was offside.

Detroit was leading Seattle 15-7 in shots at the halfway point of regulation time, and Edvinsson battled Schwartz, and Schwartz centered for Beniers in the slot but the puck flittered through the slot and away from everyone…

DeBrincat stripped a Kraken and Vince Dunn was finally called for a cheapie, a wee trip at 10:41, perhaps with the refs looking to cover up an earlier…misstep.

On the power play, Larkin won the draw back to Seider via DeBrincat, to Raymond it went, boomer wide, Seider holds the line to DeBrincat, to Seider, for Kane down to Larkin one-timer wide and out of the zone…

Detroit broke up with DeBrincat and Kane chipping, Larsson chased, the puck came free and Raymond was shouldered, Seider stopped, DeBrincat for Raymond tipped wide, Raymond to DeBrincat to Kaen lw blueline to Larkin, Raymond LW side…

Seider walked the line, slid to Kane rt wing low, slid to DeBrincat off the blade, wide, Seider for Kane…

Raymond to DeBrincat to Kane pass for Seider shot stopped Daccord with the glove with 38 left in the PK and 7:56 left in the 2nd.

The 2nd PP unit came out, and Copp drew in vs. Schwartz, Berggren BLASTED A SHOT HE LEANED INTO AND IT WAS 3-2!

Andrew Copp’s faceoff win went right to Berggren, he leaned into the slap shot and it was 3-2 before you could blink your eyes. 12:07 2nd period, 3-2 Detroit. PPG.

Talbot had to stop a really good chance by Matty Beniers on the bump-up shift, however, against the Veleno line, and Soderlbom, Rasmussen and Kane came over the boards to steady the ship.

The Kraken got a great slot chance as Eeli Tolvanen ripped a loose puck wide of Talbot as it went through everybody;

And Talbot stopped a Tolvanen shot at 13:27 of the 2nd from the right faceoff dot.

On the next shift, Raymond, DeBrincat and Larkin cycled well, and an odd bounce off the boards went into Daccord’s glove. He was feeling it.

The Larkin line then had a really good shift in the Kraken zone after the TV timeout at 14:30, but Seattle chipped and chased vs. Berggren, Veleno and Shine, and Beniers swiped the puck from Shine and swiped a shot in on Talbot, who made a good stop.

The play continued, and that line got in on the forecheck for a bit;

Copp got a glove shot in on Daccord with 3:50 left…

Detroit then made a bad line change, and Edvinsson and Johansson got caught by Tolvanen, who took a pass from Tanev and raced into the Wings’ end breaking away, with Talbot forcing Tolvanen to shank the puck over the bar…

Talbot made another good couple of stops on Shayne Wright, who hacked and whacked at the Wings’ goaltender with 2:30 left in the 2nd, against Edvinsson, Johansson, Kane, Rasmussen and Soderblom…

Johansson poked the rebound away from Talbot when he couldn’t cover up, however, defusing the play.

They had to ice the puck, and with 2:15 left, they won the draw and chipped it down the ice for another icing with 2:09 left.

Schwartz nearly lined up a slot chance against the line off the icing, too, but Detroit was able to block him…

Disappointingly, Erik Gustafsson was called for tripping Brandon Tanev with 56.4 left in the 2nd, with Tanev selling the call mightily.

On the penalty-kill, Beniers won the draw and Seattle held the puck in, Dunn fed Tanev and back, Beniers was blocked, Dunn fed Schwartz and Copp hacked the puck away from the feet of Dunn…

Holl, Edvinsson and Veleno were also out there, the Kraken cycled to Dunn and he chipped it back to the line, and Talbot made a nice stop on Kakko at the final second of the 2nd period.

FYI:

In the 3rd period, Seattle started on the power play, so, on the penalty-kill for 1:04…

Seattle won the opening draw and walked through center ice, with Berniers finding Burakovsky to Montour down to Stephenson and TALBOT made a TREMENDOUS stop to keep Chandler Stephenson away from the goal..

Detroit won the next draw and banged the puck down the ice with 25 seconds left in the PK;

Seattle raced in with Stephenson crashing and banging, Seattle rimmed the boards to Montour, he cycled for Burakovsky and back, but Copp grabbed the puck and poked it away, Tarasenko charged in and Tarasenko was dumped into the boards by Shayne Wright, affording Detroit a power play.

Wright sat at 1:47 for tripping and on the power play, Larkin sent a shot through Daccord but it bounced out to the right side of the goal, so Seider cycled for Kane to Raymond for Larkin stopped by Daccord and cleared by Stephens down the ice…

Detroit regrouped and Raymond nearly set up Larkin but instead Seattle chugged up 2-on-1 and Talbot made a huge shorthanded stop…

The 2nd unit came out with 53 seconds left in the PP, and Tarasenko sent to Copp to Gustafsson, for Berggren, across to Tarasenko and back to Gustafsson, Copp took to Gustafsson, to Berggren for Tarasenko shot gobbled up by Daccord with 25 left in the PP.

Copp was tossed from the right wing faceoff circle in the Kraken end, and Rasmussen tied it up, Copp charged up but Seattle cleared the zone and Talbot tapped it to Gustafsson with 12 left in the PP, Gustafsson rimmed and Detroit brought out Soderblom, Kane and Veleno, and Elmer Soderblom helped the puck remain in via Edvinsson, Veleno lateralled the Soderblom rebound to Soderblom, and Elmer chucked the puck into the net to make it 4-2 at 3:22.

Soderblom scored from Veleno and Edvinsson at 3:21.

Wright, Tolvanen and company pushed the puck into the Wings’ end on a 3-on-2 on the bump-up shift, and Shine, Veleno and Berggren had to get help from Chiarot and Seider to muscle the puck into the Kraken zone, where Shine cycled for Gustafsson off the bench, Larkin joined the fray and reversed flow to Gustafsson, Raymond worked to Kasper to Larkin again around the boards, Gustafsson fired in the slot wide, Kasper could not corral a bouncer and Seattle dumped the puck wide but got the benefit of the doubt on icing…

So Tanev battled Holl, Gustafsson cleared and was hit hard for his efforts.

On the next shift, Talbot made a good blocker stop on Wright;

Edvinsson fed Copp on the rush and Tarasenko, again, was stifled by Daccord at 6:41 of the 3rd.

When play resumed after a TV timeout, Oleksiak tried to get Soderblom to fight, but he’s taller, so Elmer said, “No.”

The Veleno line then took to the ice, and the Kraken really tried to muscle them as well, with their frustration showing…

A good keep-in yielded Chiarot absorbing a hit, Seider reversing for Chiarot for Seider, again, Larkin could not clear but Chiarot fed Raymond and he raced to RAYMOND AND DACCORD MADE A TREMENDOUS STOP ON RAYMOND.

DeBrincat, Tarasenko and Copp then cycled deep and Tarasenko got another chance on Daccord that was stifled through traffic…

Seattle then got a couple more chances on the Red Wings, with Tanev trying to smash Shine into the boards, but missing…

10:00 into the 3rd, the shots were 32-19 Detroit, but Seattle’s Shane Wright got a lucky bounce that went off the Red Wings’ defenseman, Ben Chiarot, and back to Wright, who made it 3-3 from Jared McCann at 10:10.

Wright scored from McCann and Dunn at 10:10. 4-3.

The Kraken almost scored on the bump-up shift, but Adam Larsson was stifled by Cam Talbot off a weird deflection in front of the net.

Detroit’s gas tank looked to be a little empty…

So Seattle cycled well against the Wings, and was gaining territorial advantage as the clock ticked down, with McCann stifled by Chiarot standing up to the Kraken forward and Talbot stopping the shot…

And when Detroit pressured Seattle, Raymond centered a puck off a Kasper cycle to Larkin in front, and the puck bounced over Larkin’s blade in the slot…

Seattle raced back up the other way, and Gustafsson made a masterful block, but Tarasenko flubbed a 3-on-2 one way, and Seattle went the other way, 3-on-2 as well, but Detroit’s Gustafsson made a great decision to chip the puck out of the zone…

With 5:44 left in the 3rd, Burakovsky raced in and was stopped by both Talbot and Edvinsson, who is now 22 years of age (it’s his birthday)…

When play resumed after a TV timeout, Larkin muscled a faceoff back to Edvinsson, he was tripped but Kasper helped push the puck out, and Seattle set up in their zone, stretch-passed it into Detroit’s, and Raymond found Larkin to easily stifle the Kraken chance and dump-and-change with 5:05 left…

A Kakko pass to the blueline yielded a Kane pass to Rasmussen and a fine stop by Daccord…

The Kraken came right back and Oleksiak sent a blueline boomer wide of Talbot…

Montour’s shoot-in went off a stanchion for Shane Wright, who got very unlucky to not score his 3rd goal in the Wings’ slot…

As play continued, Seattle continued to get some bounces from a bouncy puck on bouncy ice, and Daccord got very lucky as well…

So, somehow, Daccord sent the puck to Chris Tanev, Tanev sent it to Chandler Stephenson, and he raced up the wing and beat Talbot through the legs.

Stephenson scored from Tanev at 17:04 to make it 4-4.

On the bump-up shift, Soderblom nearly scored for Detroit, but Daccord made another tremendous stop…

As play continued, Edvinsson walked into a shot from Tarasenko, and ultimately, the Wings defused a Kraken chance instead;

Raymond wasn’t able to score back-door with 1:40 left;

With 1:25 left Larkin looked for Raymond 2-on-2 but Montour blocked the pass…

The Soderblom-Rasmussen-Kane line played the final minute, with Seider and Chiarot on defense, and Talbot helped Chiarot chip deep, Copp’s line took to the ice, and Seattle raced up, cycling with Schwartz, Beniers and Kakko, against Johansson and Holl, who made a good block, and Johansson battled Kakko hard…

To end regulation time.

In overtime,

IN overtime, Larkin, Raymond and Gustafsson started the OT game, and Larkin’s stick broke on a rush shot, and as the Kraken cycled back into Detroit’s zone, Larkin lost his stick so Montour ripped a shot just wide, and ultimately, Seider set up in the Wings’ zone a full minute into OT and chipped the puck up the ice for DeBrincat…

DeBrincat walked in and slithered a shot wide, he reversed and stuffed a shot in on Daccord that was toed away, up came the Kraken with 3:30 left in OT, and they recoiled to regroup and change…

Dunn and the Kraken charged into Detroit’s zone, Dunn was blocked off by Seider and Burakovsky had to set up in the Kraken zone…

Burakovsky fed Montour but the puck bounced away and into the Kraken end with 2:50 left, and Schwartz got a long pass on his stick and shot, but Talbot blockered it away…

Seattle won the draw and MONTOUR WAS STOPPED BY TALBOT, up came Larkin who shot wide, Larkin jammed in the corner 1-on-2, Tarasenko and Edvinsson stopped Montour, and with 2:20 left up came Detroit…

The Wings got away with too many men, and so Seattle set up behind its own net, vs. Raymond and DeBrincat and Gustafsson, Beniers skated up, waited for help, fed Dunn, Raymond cleared the zone with 1:40 left, and Raymond chased Beniers, he cycled at the Wings’ line found Dunn and Talbot stopped that one…

Raymond spun up and raced through the gut, reversed off a poke check from Wright, and up came Seider lw side, looking for help, dropping for Kasper off the bench, at center ice, Kasper chugged in slowly fired stopped and up came the Kraken…

Beniers sticked up and in and fired wide…

Kane fed Kasper, right wing looks 39 left OT Kane walks in stopped by Daccord’s stick, Seattle walks up and up comes Montour, right wing shot wide, deflects out of play with 21.3 left.

Faceoff left dot Detroit zone, won by Detroit, DeBrincat and Larkin cannot connect 1st time, 2nd time Daccord stops Larkin with 06.8 left in overtime.

Larkin drew in for the final faceoff of the game with DeBrincat on his wing, and Raymond on “D” Larkin won it, but Raymond was forchecked, he had to battle Montour as the game clock expired with Montour running into the net behind Talbot.

In the SHOOTOUT…

Beniers raced in left wing side deked deked walked and fanned on the shot…

Raymond chugged up the gut then blocker side looking walking walking sticks backhand STONED OFF THE GOALPOST.

Wright fired a big hard shot in on Talbot who STONED WRIGHT blocker side…

Kane skated up and in chugging up stopping starting GOAL SHOOTOUT RECORD…

And Kakko chugged up the gut fired a shot in on Talbot and was STOPPED to give the Red Wings a 5-4 shootout victory!
