Joonas Korpisalo stops 25 shots as Rangers hold off Kraken in debut
New York earned its third straight win, 4–3 in Seattle, after the Kraken scored three times in the third period.
Joonas Korpisalo stopped 25 of 28 shots in his first game for the New York Rangers, a 4–3 win over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday at Climate Pledge Arena. It was New York’s third straight victory.
Korpisalo had yet to play this season because of a lower-body injury. The Rangers activated him from injured reserve Friday.
The Rangers scored three times in the opening period. Gabe Perreault struck 95 seconds in, Tye Kartye converted on the power play against his former team and Jaroslav Chmelar scored the goal that ended Joey Daccord’s afternoon. Pavel Dorofeyev made it 4–0 in the second period.
Seattle scored three times in the third. Kaapo Kakko and Jordan Eberle cut the deficit in half, and Vince Dunn brought the Kraken within a goal with 4:58 left. Korpisalo kept Seattle from tying it.
