Daccord An Overnight Kraken Sensation - Eight Years After Being Drafted

Prior to the 2023-24 Seattle Kraken season, goalie Joey Daccord's NHL resume wouldn't have filled an entire page, even with a lot of white space included.

2015: Drafted in the 7th round by the Ottawa Senators

2018-19: 1 game with Ottawa, 5 goals against, 35 saves

2019-20: 0 games

2020-21: 8 games with Ottawa, 1-3-1 record, 3.27 GAA, .897 Save%

July, 2021: Selected by Kraken in expansion draft

2021-22: 5 games with Seattle, 0-4-0 record, 4.30 GAA, .850 Save%

2022-23: 5 games with Seattle, 2-1-1 record, 3.14 GAA, .900 Save%

That's why his coming out party with the Kraken in 2023-24, including top-6 finishes in goals against average and save percentage, was such a revelation.
