Oscar Fisker Molgaard Sends Montour and Evans Packing; Beniers, Daccord and Eyssimont Defeat Tolvanen In Quarter Finals Of World Championship
Seattle Kraken's Adam Larsson, Oscar Fisker Molgaard, Matty Beniers, Joey Daccord and Michael Eyssimont have advanced to the semi-finals of the 2025 IIHF Men's World Championship as Eeli Tolvanen, Philipp Grubauer, Brandon Montour and Ryker Evans depart. Grubauer and Germany battled Fisker Molgaard and Denmark for the final spot in Group B on the last day of the preliminary rounds. Germany had the lead heading into the third period, but a late goal from the Winnipeg Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers tied the game, and Denmark would go on to secure their place in the knockout rounds with a shootout win. Another late Ehlers goal would eliminate another pair of Kraken players. Montour, Evans and Canada topped Group A, but because Denmark are hosts, Canada had to leave Sweden for their quarterfinals matchup. Ehlers scored a tying goal 2:17 remaining in the game, and Denmark would take the lead by away of Nick Olesen, scoring with 49 seconds remaining. Montour finished the tournament scoring two goals and nine points in eight games, while Evans added two assists in eight games. Fisker Molgaard and Denmark will take on Switzerland in the semi-finals. Beniers, Eyssimont, Daccord and Team USA took quick care of Finland in their quarterfinals matchup, erasing a 2-1 deficit en route to a 5-2 victory. Beniers recorded an assist on the tying goal, and in a losing effort, Tolvanen scored his seventh goal, finishing the tournament with seven goals and nine points in eight games. Larsson and Team Sweden were set for a difficult matchup against Czechia, but sprang out to a 3-0 lead in the first period and never looked back. Leo Carlsson and Lucas Raymond led the way for Sweden, scoring twice before Filip Forsberg put the game out of reach with an empty-net goal. Sweden will take on the Americans in the semi-final, ensuring a Kraken player will compete for a gold medal on Sunday.

Kraken Defenseman Leading The Way For Team Canada's Blue Line
Seattle Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour is leading the way for Team Canada's World Championship roster as they near the end of the group stage. Through five games, the 31-year-old has scored two goals and nine points, tied for second among Canadian players. Leading the way for Canada is Nathan MacKinnon with 10 points, followed closely behind by Sidney Crosby and Brandon Montour. Canada has a perfect record through five games, outscoring their opponents 28-2. They have two games remaining in the group stage, against France on Monday and Sweden on Tuesday. Canada's matchup against Sweden will likely be the game which settles who finishes first in Group A. Montour has been a catalyst on the backend, outscoring the next closest defenseman on Team Canada by six points. The Ohsweken, ON native, has shown great chemistry with Canada's top players, particularly Crosby. He's quarterbacked the top unit, and he's a major reason why Canada's power play has been so efficient. Canada has high hopes of winning the World Championship, and Montour will play a big role if they succeed. Stay updated with the most interesting Kraken stories, analysis, breaking news and more!

Brandon Montour scores fastest goal in NHL overtime history as Kraken rally past Canadiens
Overtime had just started in Wednesday night's game between the Seattle Kraken and Montreal Canadiens. Four seconds later, Brandon Montour ended the game with a quick shot. It was the fastest overtime goal in the history of the NHL, with Montour's game-winning shot completing Seattle's 5-4 comeback. After being down two goals in the third period, Jani Nyman scored and Matty Beniers tied it up with just minutes left to bring the game into overtime. Advertisement To start overtime, Seattle's Chandler Stephenson squared off against Montreal's Christian Dvorak. The puck squirted toward Montreal's zone off the draw, with Montour immediately skating toward the loose puck, easily beating Canadiens rookie defenseman Lane Hudson. The Kraken defenseman made no mistake, getting it past Montreal goalie Jakub Dobeš. SHEESH, TAKE WAS QUICK! 💨 Brandon Montour scores the @Energizer overtime winner just FOUR seconds into the extra frame! — NHL (@NHL) March 13, 2025 Three other players have scored goals within four seconds of the start of a period in NHL history, all in regulation, including Claude Provost for the Canadiens in 1957, Denis Savard for the Chicago Blackhawks in 1986 and James van Riemsdyk for the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2014. Montour is the first to score so quickly in overtime. It is not the first time the Canadiens are in the record books for the fastest overtime goal. The club still holds the record for the quickest OT goal in the playoffs when Brian Skrudland beat Calgary's Mike Vernon just nine seconds into the first overtime period in Game 2 of the 1986 Stanley Cup Final. Montreal won the series in five games to capture its 23rd Cup. It was Montour's second goal of the game Wednesday night, and he added two assists, bringing his total to 15 goals and 21 assists so far this season. It's the defenseman's third game-winning goal this season and his fourth career overtime goal. As for Dobeš, the loss brings his record to 6-3-2, with a .907 save percentage and a GAA of 2.71 in 12 games played this season. Currently in seventh place in the Pacific Division, the win brings the Kraken to 28-34-4. Montreal is in fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 31-27-7 record.
