The Seattle Kraken suffered a very significant defeat in the NHL playoffs. In the 3:6 win against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday evening (local time), Germany's exceptional goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer, who had previously offered outstanding performances, conceded five goals in the first two periods and had to go to the bench in the final third for his colleague Martin Jones. Dallas scored the final goal on an empty net when the Kraken went all out and brought in an extra field player.
