The small defender of the Seattle Kraken of the president of the Eishockey-Nationaltorhüter Philipp Grubauer is in the NHL very soon. The New Jersey Devils beat Seattle twice in a 33-second game with the score 2:3 down. The Kraken find themselves in the 14th season of the Pacific Division and find themselves one spot behind the Edmonton Oilers at Leon Draisaitl.

The top teams in the Vegas Golden Knights, Minnesota Wild and Washington Capitals will head into an increasingly intense storm and siege. Vegas beat the Dallas Stars with 3:2, Minnesota won 5:1 against the Anaheim Ducks. Washington lost its superstar Alexander Owetschkin (Wadenbeinbruch) with 3:1 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
