SEATTLE – Mason Marchment notched the game-winning tally in his Seattle debut, Joey Daccord had 35 saves, and the Kraken won their first home opener in franchise history, 3-1, over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night.

Vince Dunn scored the first goal of the season and Jared McCann added an insurance goal early in the third period to carry Seattle to a win in their season opener.

The Kraken were 0-4 in home openers entering Thursday night, losing 4-2 to Vancouver in 2021, 5-2 to Vegas in 2022, 4-1 to Colorado in 2023, and 3-2 to St. Louis last season. But Seattle was able to weather a very rough first period effort to

Same as he did in Seattle’s first ever home game in 2021, it was Vince Dunn that scored the first goal of the season at Climate Pledge Arena,.

Dunn snapped a wrist shot into the top left corner of the goal with the aid of a screen of goaltender Lukáš Dostál by Eeli Tolvanen to give Seattle a 1-0 lead. Jaden Schwartz carved into the Anaheim zone, dropped a pass for Adam Larsson, who swung the puck to Dunn for the shot from atop the left circle.

But Dunn was also mostly responsible for the tying goal for the Ducks minutes later.

Dunn lost a puck to Mason McTavish that required Matty Beniers to clean up. However, the puck came back to Dunn, who then backhanded the puck from behind the net straight back to McTavish, A backhanded shot by McTavish fell directly to rookie Beckett Sennecke at the right post for a backhand finish by Joey Daccord for his first NHL goal in his debut with Anaheim.

The Ducks completely outplayed Seattle for the rest of the period, but were unable to find another goal.

Well, the puck did end up in the net a second time, but it was waved off as former Everett Silvertip Olen Zellweger pushed Daccord’s pad (and the puck with it) into the net.

Anaheim held a 16-5 advantage in shots through the first period.

An outstanding individual effort from Brandon Montour flipped the momentum in the second.

Montour won a puck off Troy Terry in the defensive zone to spark a rush up ice. Montour out-muscled Terry to turn the corner toward the net and found a charging Mason Marchment for a finish by Dostál for a 2-1 Kraken lead.

The goal deflated the Ducks as Seattle managed to blunt Anaheim’s attack.

The Kraken had a great chance to extend the lead on their first power play chance, but were unable to connect. A pass from Jordan Eberle looking for a wide open Jared McCann across the front of Dostál slid off McCann’s stick.

McCann did eventually find the third goal for Seattle less than five minutes into the final period. A regroup in the neutral zone quickly came back into the Anaheim end with Eberle firing a pass off the far wall to Beniers, who found McCann open driving to the net. A quick shot beat Dostál’s stick inside the left post for a 3-1 Kraken lead.

McCann nearly made it 4-1 minutes later, ringing a shot that beat Dostál off the left post.

Anaheim pulled Dostál with three minutes left to play, but Daccord and the Kraken defense held firm to close out the victory.

San Francisco and Seattle will meet for the third time this season, the 49ers taking the first matchup and the Seahawks taking the second. Winner of the Divisional Round will advance to the NFC Championship, the final round ahead of Super Bowl LX at Levi’s® Stadium.

Seahawks Will Host Rams Or 49ers In Divisional Round

Seahawks Will Host Rams Or 49ers In Divisional Round

The Seahawks will host an NFC West opponent in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Whether that opponent is the Rams or the 49ers will be determined on Sunday when the 49ers play the Eagles in Philadelphia. Also still to be determined is the date and time of the game.

The Rams, who are the No. 5 seed, beat the Panthers on Saturday to advance, and since Seattle, as the No. 1 seed, hosts the lowest-seeded team that advances out of the wild card round, the sixth-seeded 49ers would come to Lumen Field if they win on Sunday. If the Eagles win, however, the Rams would come to Seattle, while the Eagles would head to Chicago to face the Bears, who beat the Packers on Saturday night.

The Seahawks split the season series with both teams, losing to the 49ers in Week 1 and the Rams in Week 11 before beating the Rams in Week 16 and the 49ers in Week 18 as part of a seven-game winning streak that helped them win the NFC West and earn the No. 1 seed.

Next weekend’s game at Lumen Field will be the Seahawks’ first home playoff game with fans in the stadium—they hosted a wild card game in an empty stadium following the 2020 regular season—since they beat the Lions in the wild card round during the 2016 season. Prior to that empty-stadium loss to the Rams five years ago, the Seahawks won 10 consecutive home playoff games dating back to the start of their Super Bowl run in 2005. The Seahawks have reached the Super Bowl in each of the three previous seasons that they earned the No. 1 seed.

Paul Arriola, Pedro de la Vega and the Seattle Sounders return in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

Paul Arriola, Pedro de la Vega and the Seattle Sounders return in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

Forgotten. Absent. Inconsistently healthy. Weights of expectation.

These heroes offered glimpses and scenes of their greatness in 2025.

Paul Arriola, X Man

Paul Arriola gave us a glimpse of his former greatness before his injury. Once a DP, once the highest value transfer within MLS, once recruited to skip MLS entirely for what was at the time a much better league, Arriola’s all comps contributions per 90 would compare to wingback style players Jordi Alba and the now-gone Ali Ahmed.

Arriola slides right in that space, with his 0.57. Now, a discerning reader such as yourself will imagine small sample sizes and opponent quality. You would be correct. But Paul also put up similar numbers in MLS in 2018, 2021 and 2022. His time in MLS as a whole is .40/90 (in the realm of last season’s Christian Espinoza).

Defining Arriola’s role is always going to be hard. He’s played as many wide roles as exist in the modern game. With Seattle, he could be a left or right winger in a four-front if they choose to run a 3-2-4-1, or a wingback in a 3-4-2-1 or a conventional winger in a 4-2-3-1. No matter his role, he’s been strong. His calls to the US National Team ran every year from age 20-27, when he put up better numbers there than he did in league play. He’s now 30.

Pedro de la Vega, the injury saga

Sounders fans know how bright Pedro can burn. So do, Lanus fans, Argentina fans, Cruz Azul fans, Santos Laguna fans, Tijuana fans, Puebla, Galaxy, Inter Messi and a smattering of other MLS teams. The Leagues Cup player of the year and wonder goal nominee is absolutely thrilling, when available.

Lanus, Argentina and Seattle also know his history of injuries. Injuries are why he’s in Seattle.

PdlV only played 41% of available minutes in all competitions. A healthy winger of his quality should be around 66% or so. His absolutely stellar all comps performance of 0.72 is on par with Hany Mukhtar, at 20th in MLS play. Pedro is ahead of Diego Rossi, Djordje Mihailovic, and Dejan Joveljić.

When you think about how the Seattle Sounders will make up ground for the inevitable decline of Danny Musovski the names Arriola and de la Vega should be bandied about.

They weren’t merely better than the people who replaced them on the Sounders – they’re better than the majority of high-profile players in the league.

In 2025 Craig Waibel raised the floor and the peak. Injuries gave us only a few glimpses of that peak.

2026 is when the multi-competition heroic Sounders can once again show their prowess and why their presence as a top tier club is eternal.
