The Winnipeg Jets opened a three-game homestand Thursday night at Canada Life Centre, looking to extend their winning streak to six, but Joey Daccord and the Seattle Kraken had other plans. Daccord stopped all 32 shots he faced to record his first shutout of the season as the Kraken blanked the Jets 3-0.
The first period ended scoreless, but Seattle came out flying, pressuring Winnipeg from the opening faceoff and giving the Jets little breathing room. Winnipeg struggled to find its rhythm early, looking disorganized in both zones.
Just 2:38 into the second period, Jaden Schwartz broke the deadlock with his third goal of the year, which was the eventual game-winner. Shane Wright’s shot from the right side created a rebound off Connor Hellebuyck’s pad, and Schwartz buried it unwatched in front.
The Jets had a pair of power-play opportunities in the middle frame but couldn’t capitalize, heading into the second intermission still searching for the offence to click.
Seattle sealed the win late in the third with two empty-net goals. Schwartz netted his second of the game, and captain Jordan Eberle added another to make it 3-0.
Outside of a strong effort from Hellebuyck, it was a frustrating night for Winnipeg. The Jets looked out of sync defensively and struggled to generate sustained pressure offensively. The Kraken took advantage of Winnipeg’s slow start, limiting their time and space while exposing breakdowns in structure.
“I thought they kept us to the outside pretty good. We didn’t have a ton of grade-A chances, a few, but we didn’t get a lot of bounces,” said defenceman Neal Pionk postgame.
Josh Morrissey was once again a workhorse for Winnipeg, leading the team with 28:30 of ice time while registering four shots, two blocks, and four hits, per NHL Stats.
“He’s a hard guy to defend when he’s feeling it like that,” said head coach Scott Arniel. “I think he was mad at himself in the first because he had a couple of looks and tried to make plays. In the third, he did a real good job manufacturing offence.”
The Jets won’t have much time to regroup, as they’re right back in action Friday night when the Calgary Flames come to town for the second half of the back-to-back.
