Joonas Korpisalo made 25 saves in his New York Rangers debut as the team held off the Seattle Kraken 4-3 on Nov. 7 at Climate Pledge Arena. The Rangers built a four-goal lead before Seattle scored three times in the final period, NHL.com reported Nov. 8.
Gabe Perreault, Tye Kartye and Jaroslav Chmelar scored in the first period, prompting Seattle to replace Joey Daccord with Philipp Grubauer. Pavel Dorofeyev extended the lead to 4-0 in the second. Kartye, a former Kraken forward, scored his first NHL power-play goal against his old team.
Kaapo Kakko started Seattle’s response early in the third, followed by a Jordan Eberle power-play goal and a Vince Dunn score that cut the deficit to one. The Kraken finished with 28 shots, including 13 in the third period, but could not tie it. New York earned its third consecutive victory.
Korpisalo had been acquired from Boston on July 1 but missed the start of the season with a lower-body injury. Seattle’s next games are scheduled against Carolina in Helsinki on Nov. 12 and 14 as part of the NHL Global Series. The loss left the Kraken 9-6-1 and the Rangers 10-7-1.
