The milestone moment for Mason Marchment came in Seattle Kraken’s 3-2 overtime victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins, as the veteran forward notched his 200th NHL point. The 30-year-old contributed a goal and an assist, reinforcing why Seattle acquired him in the offseason and underscoring his two-way impact and physical presence. The night also featured Sidney Crosby’s 500th multipoint game, making it a memorable evening for career milestones at PPG Paints Arena.
Marchment broke the deadlock early in the second period with a wrist shot from the left circle after stealing the puck at the blue line, lifting Seattle to a 1-0 lead and snapping an 18-game goal drought dating back to October 9. His primary assist came on Matty Beniers’ game-tying goal in the third period, as Ryker Evans fed Marchment who set up Beniers at the faceoff circle for a roofed shot that tied the game at 2-2. This assist pushed Marchment’s NHL totals to 78 goals and 122 assists.
Brandon Montour secured the overtime win with a wrist shot at 4:10 of the extra frame. The Kraken’s victory marked its fourth comeback win when trailing after two periods this season, highlighting the team’s resilience and depth.
Since joining Seattle in a June 2025 trade, Marchment has served as a veteran mentor and a steady producer, recording 11 points in 20 games and positioning himself for a potential fourth 40-point season in five years. His chemistry with Beniers and Eberle solidified one of the Western Conference’s most effective lines, contributing to Seattle’s franchise-best start and identity built around veteran leadership.
Beyond offensive totals, Marchment’s story—from undrafted free agent to NHL mainstay—emphasizes perseverance, a strong work ethic, and a durable, physical game that has defined his career. With 31 shots on goal and 29 hits through 20 games, he remains a balanced contributor as Seattle pursues its playoff aspirations.
