Martin Jones Misses Tuesday's Game
2 years agoSeattle Kraken goaltender Martin Jones won't be available for Tuesday's clash with Calgary for personal reasons. He is dealing with a family matter and Jones' absence will give Joey Daccord his season debut. The Kraken are also currently without Philipp Grubauer (lower body) and Chris Driedger (knee), and Christopher Gibson has been summoned from the minors to serve as Daccord's backup. The former Senator is carrying a miserable 1-8-1 record in the NHL, but Daccord was one of the AHL's top goalies last season. Seattle has tightened up the defense a lot this season, allowing only 26.1 shots per game, so Daccord can expect to get plenty of support against one of the top dogs of the league.
