Kraken Demolish Flames Again 6-1, DarkHorse Cashes Easy ML Winner

The Kraken just copy-pasted their blueprint from two nights ago, steamrolling Calgary 6-1 at Climate Pledge Arena to move to 2-0 while the Flames sink to a dismal 0-3. DarkHorse's Kraken ML pick (-155) was never in doubt, and frankly, this one felt like taking candy from a baby.

Joey Daccord didn't need to be superhuman tonight—Calgary's anemic offense did half the work for him—but he was rock-solid when tested, continuing the goaltending mismatch we hammered in our original analysis. Devin Cooley and the Flames' crease situation remains a dumpster fire, surrendering six goals for the second straight game against Seattle. That's 12 goals allowed in two meetings. Twelve.

Seattle's depth scoring showed up in waves, spreading the damage across multiple lines and making Calgary's defense look like they were skating in quicksand. The Flames managed one garbage-time tally to avoid the shutout, but this was a thoroughgoing beatdown from puck drop. Back-to-back concerns for the Kraken? Laughable. They looked fresher than a team that had 48 hours rest.

Calgary's offense is completely broken—three goals in three games—and until they figure out both ends of the ice, they're going to keep getting pantsed like this. DarkHorse nailed the goaltending gap, and Seattle made it look easy. Again.
