Oliver Bjorkstrand scored twice, including the game-winner in overtime, and the Seattle Kraken escaped with a 5-4 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night. FOX13
Jared McCann also had a pair of goals and Philipp Grubauer made 16 saves on 17 shots in a relief appearance to help carry Seattle to the win.
The Kraken allowed the Red Wings to hang around in a game that Seattle felt firmly in control of much of the night. Martin Jones allowed three goals on 12 shots before being lifted early in the second period. Bjorkstrand then put Seattle back on top with his first tally of the evening. A rebound try from Bjorkstrand was collected by Alex Wennberg and fed back to Bjorkstrand in front of the net to beat Husso and make it a 2-1 Kraken lead. Then right as a Seattle power play was ending from an interference call against Seider, McCann ripped his second goal of the night, and 29th of the season, by Husso to give Seattle a 3-1 advantage.
Another power play chance for Seattle led to another goal to retake the lead. Again with a penalty expiring, Matty Beniers hit the near post against Husso. Beniers collected his own rebound, fed Jordan Eberle and he delivered a perfect pass through the goal crease to Jaden Schwartz on the back door to make it a 4-3 Kraken lead.
"We were able to push back, answer, and settle things down over the last 20-plus minutes of the hockey game," Hakstol said. "Use the time and find a way and that's exactly what we did. That makes it a good road win. There's a lot of things in there that we could critique and we want to better at. A lot of that comes back to our puck play but we were able to find a way through.
