Vince Dunn and Jared McCann each had a goal for the Kraken in their season-opening game. Joey Daccord had 35 saves and coach Lane Lambert won his first game with Seattle.
Beckett Sennecke scored in his NHL debut for the Ducks, who also played their season opener. Lukas Dostal had 28 saves. Joel Quenneville, who coached the Chicago Blackhawks to three Stanley Cups (2010, 2013, 2015), was coaching his first game for Anaheim.
Dunn made it 1-0 at 2:21 of the first period, taking a feed from Adam Larsson at the top of the left circle and snapping it over Dostal’s right shoulder.
Sennecke, the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, tied it 1-1 at 4:11 of the first after Mason McTavish intercepted Dunn’s attempted breakout pass and found Sennecke open at the right post. Sennecke redirected it into an open net behind Daccord for his first career goal.
Marchment, playing in his first game for the Kraken since being traded by the Dallas Stars on June 19, made it 2-1 with a one-timer from the slot at 3:50 of the second period. Brandon Montour forced a turnover in Seattle’s zone, then won a race for the puck and found Marchment, who slapped it over Dostal’s blocker.
McCann pushed it to 3-1 at 4:25 of the third period with a one-timer from the bottom of the left circle after Matty Beniers tapped a one-touch pass to him from the left corner.
