SEATTLE – The Seattle Kraken were thoroughly clamped down by the Carolina Hurricanes defense, and Seth Jarvis had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 loss on Saturday night.
Seattle took six penalties on the night as the Hurricanes pressured the Kraken into miscues. They also dominated offensive possession with a 39-19 advantage in shots on the night.
Jared McCann scored his fifth goal of the season on a breakaway chance in the third period to briefly make it a one-goal game, but Jarvis scored on a breakaway of his own minutes later, and Dmitry Orlov added an empty net goal for the Hurricanes.
Joey Daccord had a strong performance in net that helped keep the Hurricanes within reach. He made 35 saves on 38 shots faced on the night as he became the first Seattle goaltender this season to start back-to-back games.
The Hurricanes jumped out front early and did their best to squeeze off any offensive pressure from the Kraken. They dominated play in the neutral zone and managed to break up many of Seattle’s attempts to get the puck up the ice and out of their own zone.
With Brandon Montour in the box for a roughing penalty, Andrei Svechnikov buried a great crossing pass from Martin Nečas for a power play goal and a 1-0 lead. Seattle’s penalty kill unit lost Svechnikov on a zone entry and he had a clean finish behind Daccord to give Carolina the lead just 4:25 into the game.
A high-sticking penalty to Shane Wright kept Seattle on the defensive with Daccord delivering a terrific glove save on a Jack Drury chance to keep the lead from expanding to two.
Matty Beniers and Eeli Tolvenen each got strong shots on net on Seattle’s only power play of the period, and Jared McCann had an open net chance on a Beniers pass just after the penalty expired, but was unable to connect.
McCann was just about the only player to see really dangerous looks for much of the night for the Kraken. He had a good look on a delayed penalty call that was turned aside by Hurricanes’ goalie Frederik Andersen, and a short-handed breakaway chance at the end of the second period that was also stopped by Andersen.
Jack Roslovic had a shot off the post that nearly doubled Carolina’s lead, and shortly thereafter, Drury did make it a 2-0 game for the Hurricanes. A two-on-on-1 chance along with Jackson Blake left Drury all alone on the doorstep for an easy tap-in finish.
Gourde then took a double-minor for a high-stick to Seth Jarvis that led to a four-minute power play chance for Carolina. McCann’s breakaway came during this sequence in the final 10 seconds of the period.
The Kraken killed off the remainder of Gourde’s penalty to open the third period to keep the game in reach.
McCann got a second breakaway look with just under ten minutes remaining and didn’t miss his second shot. A move to his forehand beat Andersen with 9:39 remaining to pull Seattle within one.
Tolvanen quickly had another prime chance in close only to lose the handle on the puck and the opportunity with it. But the momentum stalled after another hooking penalty taken by André Burakovsky. Then with the Kraken pressing for a tying goal, Jarvis broke free behind the Seattle defense as Jordan Martinook flipped the puck cleanly ahead on the breakaway.
McCann’s goal gives him a six-game point streak for Seattle. His five goals are second on the team behind the six of Jordan Eberle.

Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.
CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.
Mariners Injury Update: Latest on Robles, Vargas and more
The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.

SEATTLE – Brandon Nimmo hit a leadoff home run, Jacob deGrom threw four shutout innings and Gavin Collyer earned his first career win as the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 5-0 on Friday night.
Seattle lost its fourth straight game, and was shut out for the fourth time in 21 games, falling to 8-13. The Mariners were shut out six times during the 2025 season. Texas won its third straight game.
Nimmo led off the game with a 372-foot shot to right field off Mariners starter Logan Gilbert (1-3). It was Nimmo’s 16th career leadoff homer and second of the season. He also hit a leadoff home run on April 11 in a 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
DeGrom effectively maneuvered through Seattle’s lineup, and worked out of a one out, bases-loaded jam in the first inning. The two-time Cy Young Award winner recorded two of his three strikeouts after walking Josh Naylor to load the bases. Randy Arozarena fanned on a curveball, and Luke Raley swung through a fastball.
Texas added to its lead after Nimmo’s homer. Wyatt Langford’s single to left scored Corey Seager, who led off the third inning with a double. The Rangers stretched the lead to 3-0 on an RBI single from Jake Burger in the seventh.
The Mariners’ best scoring chance came in the sixth after Collyer (1-0), who worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings, left the game.
J.P. Crawford singled to left off Tyler Alexander with two out, and Mariners third base coach Carlos Cardoza sent Naylor from second base, but he was thrown out by Langford.
Texas added two more runs in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Andrew McCutchen and an RBI double by Josh Jung.
Seattle third baseman Brendan Donovan left the game early due to a left hip issue.
Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller, who started the year on the injured list with a left oblique injury, was at T-Mobile Park for the first time this season. He will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
Up next
Mariners RHP George Kirby (2-2, 3.25) will face Rangers righty Nathan Eovaldi (2-2, 5.40) on Saturday afternoon.
