Lleyton Roed and Ryan Winterton made well-timed impressions and the Kraken saw positive signs overall in their first preseason win. Here are three takeaways.

While it is only a pre-season game, faceoffs were a massive issue for Vancouver all night. The Canucks only won 20 of the 59 faceoffs they took while also finishing four for 24 in the defensive zone. Even for a pre-season game, these numbers are concerning, especially since Vancouver lost all seven faceoffs while shorthanded.

The Seattle Kraken scored the first three goals of the game then hung on to defeat the visiting Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Friday in NHL pre-season action at Climate Pledge Arena. Eeli Tolvanen, Brandon Montour and Ryan Winterton, who also had an assist, scored for the Kraken, who dropped a 3-1 decision to the Canucks on Tuesday in Vancouver.
