Streaks were made to be broken and a couple of them were broken late Monday night as the Carolina Hurricanes lost to the Seattle Kraken, 2-1.

The Canes had earned points in 12 straight games up to this night. The team was undefeated with Jaccob Slavin in the lineup up until this game. Both streaks are history now.

The Hurricanes outshot the home team by a 36-15 margin (shots on goal) but could only solve Kraken goalie, Joey Daccord once when Nikolaj Ehlers scored late in the second period.

Give Daccord credit, he looked very good and has now won seven of his last eight starts.

Head Coach, Rod Brind’Amour decided to break up the previously indicated goalie rotation with Brandon Bussi and started Frederik Andersen for the second game in a row.

Andersen allowed two goals on the 15 shots he faced.

The Kraken only had a total of 21 (5v5) shots attempted all game, the lowest amount the Hurricanes have allowed this season.

The 21 5v5 shot attempts allowed is the fewest by a Hurricanes opponent this season, edging the 22 the Panthers had Jan. 16 in Carolina's 9-1 win.

The Canes had a total of 71 attempted shots.

The Kraken outhit the Canes, 31-13 and had a couple of solid hits on Seth Jarvis and Eric Robinson which stunned each player.

Next up for Carolina will be a tilt against the reeling Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night.
