Donato scores in OT as Kraken edge Canucks 4-3 in pre-season tilt
Ryan Donato scored with 40.1 seconds left in overtime, powering the Seattle Kraken to a 4-3 comeback victory over the host Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.
Thatcher Demko, making his first start of the pre-season for the Canucks , registered 17 saves before Arturs Silovs came in to start the third period. Silovs made eight saves in relief. Lind, a former Canucks draft pick, narrowed the deficit to 3-2 just over four minutes into the third when Silovs lost sight of the puck on a shot by Will Borgen. The puck lay on the goal line momentarily before Lind poked it in.
Kempny stayed crouched on the ice for several minutes before a trainer came out to evaluate him on the ice. He eventually skated off on his own but went straight to the Kraken dressing room and did not return to the game.The hit appeared to prompt another dust-up just over five minutes into the second. Hayden exchanged blows with Joshua at centre ice before the pair were separated by officials and each handed a five-minute major for fighting.
The Canucks made quick work of the ensuing man advantage, with Pearson firing a shot from the middle of the slot past Daccord 16:55 into the first. Vancouver appeared to jump out to a 3-0 advantage just moments before when Oliver Ekman-Larsson fired a shot from inside the blue line and the puck caromed in off Conor Garland’s skate.Kuzmenko put away his second goal of the night on a power play midway through the first after Wright was called for holding.
