Joey Daccord matches franchise record with 42 saves, Kraken hold off Kings 2-1

LOS ANGELES — Joey Daccord matched his own Seattle franchise record with 42 saves — 20 in the first period — and survived a furious final three minutes to help the Kraken hold off the Los Angeles Kings 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Daccord has started the Kraken’s last seven games and is 3-1-3 with a 1.86 goals-against average and a .936 save percentage,

“He’s making timely saves. He’s making all the saves that he should and he’s making some big saves too,” coach Dave Hakstol said. “It’s those kind of things that give your bench a lift and continue to lead to confidence.”

The Kings pulled goalie Cam Talbot with 2:52 remaining, but could not get the tying goal. That included a power play with 2:47 remaining after Seattle’s Will Borgen was called for high-sticking Kevin Fiala.

Daccord also made 42 saves against Carolina on Oct. 26. He’s the second NHL goalie this season to make at least 20 saves in the first period without allowing a goal. Ottawa’s Joonas Korpisalo stopped all 23 shots he faced in the opening 20 minutes on Oct. 28 against Pittsburgh.

“It’s always nice to get off to a good start,” Daccord said. “When you get peppered with pucks it helps you definitely to settle down a little bit quicker.”

Brandon Tanev and Jordan Eberle scored for Seattle.

Los Angeles’ Blake Lizotte had his 100th career point with his third period-goal. Talbot stopped 28 shots.

Tanev put the Kraken on top 5:19 into the second period with his third goal of the season and first in 11 games. The left wing stormed the net off a faceoff and knocked in his own rebound after Talbot made a pad save on the initial shot.

Eberle made it 2-0 at 6:27 of the third on a breakaway. Matty Beniers made a great stretch pass to Eberle, who just remained onside as he got the puck…
