Vegas Golden Knights: The First Haunting
Kraken Record vs Golden Knigts 2-9-1
The Vegas Golden Knights have haunted the Kraken since day one, literally. Seattle’s inaugural NHL game in 2021 ended in a 4-3 loss to Vegas, and the Golden Knights have since continued to be a challenging matchup for the Kraken. Leading the charge against Seattle has been none other than Jonathan Marchessault, a name Kraken fans have come to recognize all too well.
Jonathan Marchessault has scored 9 goals in the regular season against the Kraken—more than any other player in the NHL. Luckily for Seattle, Marchessault has moved on to Nashville, but the nightmare isn’t over. Now, Jack Eichel is primed to become the Kraken’s new top nemesis. As Seattle builds its rivalry with Vegas, they’ll need answers for Eichel and the Golden Knights, who continue to echo that first haunting defeat.
