Chandler Stephenson, Josh Mahura and Jared McCann each had two assists for the Kraken (18-22-3), who had lost four in a row (0-3-1). Joey Daccord made 33 saves in his first start since Dec. 22; he relieved Philipp Grubauer in a 6-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday, his first game after missing five with an upper-body injury.

The Buffalo Sabres are who they are, and they proved it once again in Saturday’s 6-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. Paul Hamilton shares his postgame thoughts:

The Buffalo Sabres suffered a brutal loss to the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. After ending the first period with a 2-0 lead, the Sabres allowed six unanswered goals to the Kraken and lost by a final score of 6-2.

However, the Sabres not only blew their first-period lead but did so brutally. They allowed six unanswered goals in the following two periods and lost by a 6-2 final score. This included four goals during the third period, one of which was an empty-netter.
