This edition honors the 1917 Seattle Metropolitans, the last NHA team to win the Stanley Cup and the first American team to do so. In a nod to Halloween, the current Seattle Kraken mirrored their predecessors by dominating the Montreal Canadiens 8-2.

The Kraken, previously struggling offensively, found their rhythm against a Canadiens team that suffered one of its worst losses of the season. Despite a two-game winning streak leading into the game, Montreal's performance was lackluster, with goaltender Samuel Montembeault pulled after allowing five goals.

Seattle's offensive highlights included Brandon Montour's first career hat trick. The Canadiens, who had previously defeated the Kraken twice last season, now face challenges as they look to improve their home record.
