1st shutout in Winter Classic history for Joey Daccord and <a href="">#seakraken</a> <br><br>Wonderful performance. <br><br>Kraken now one point from a wild card spot. The playoff races are going to be super tight. <a href="">

The Golden Knights, meanwhile, will look to bounce back against the Florida Panthers at their T-Mobile Arena on Thursday.
