Burakovsky notched his first season goal 46 seconds into the third, deflecting the puck past Dostal to tie the game 2-2. Moments later, Montour fired a shot from the top of the right circle, beating traffic and Dostal for his seventh goal of the season, giving Seattle the lead.
Takeaways
Kraken: Shane Wright made an impact after being a healthy scratch for three games, breaking a 13-game personal points drought with a first-period goal.
