Kraken vs. Canadiens 1st Period Recap

The Winter Classic uniform, 1-0 outdoors but 0-2 indoors, gets one more wearing this season.

Confusion between Kraken goalie Philipp Grubauer and defenseman Jamie Oleksiak leads to another self-inflicted goal against the Kraken.

A blunted Kaiden Guhle shot from the blueline heads down the slot slower than I-5 traffic at rush hour. Oleksiak and Grubauer both go to grab it... and neither one does. 1-0 Habs at 4:18.

Montreal takes 2:04 to double its lead. Grubauer can't locate Guhle's long-range wrister through traffic, so can't stop Alex Newhook's tip-in. The first two Canadiens shots ON net have gone IN the net.

Kraken defenseman Ryker Evans, ridden heavily into the boards by Montreal's Michael Pezzetta, skates to the bench in obvious distress.

An Adam Larsson drive changes course after deflecting off a Canadiens' stick, but goalie Cayden Primeau makes a cat-quick adjustment and pad save.

In a 27 second span, the Habs double their lead, again , to 4-0. First, captain Nick Suzuki at 17:33.

At 18:00, Newhook scores for the 2nd time. Speaking of hooks, that's what's out for Grubauer, replaced by Joey Daccord.

Six days ago, it was Daccord getting yanked in the first period after allowing three quick Buffalo goals.
