Seattle Kraken News

Daccord was the first goalie off the ice at Seattle's morning skate.

Seattle allowed four unanswered goals in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators as they suffered their third straight loss (0-3-0). The 29-year-old Daccord will likely return to the crease on Thursday, looking to improve on some inconsistent play since returning from the Olympic break, posting a 3.02 GAA and .903 SV% in six games (3-3-0). Seattle enters the action on Thursday as +185 home underdogs against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche, who are coming off a disappointing 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

Daccord will start against the Predators on Tuesday.

Despite giving up seven goals in Saturday's loss to the Senators, Daccord will somewhat surprisingly be back between the pipes for the Kraken on Tuesday. Kraken head coach Lane Lambert is no doubt rewarding Daccord with a vote of confidence for his strong run of play leading up to Saturday's lopsided defeat. The 29-year-old netminder had gone 6-1-0 in his previous seven starts while posting a .934 SV%. Daccord does have a good chance of getting back in the win column on Tuesday, as the Kraken enter action at -115 on the money line.
