In a thrilling matchup, the Seattle Kraken overcame a three-goal deficit in the third period to defeat the Vancouver Canucks 5-4 in overtime.
Vince Dunn scored his second goal of the game 2:15 into overtime as the visiting Seattle Kraken rallied from a three-goal, third-period deficit to defeat the Vancouver Canucks 5-4 on Saturday afternoon. Jaden Schwartz’s second goal of the game tied it 4-4 with just 49 seconds left in the third period with Seattle’s goaltender on the bench for an extra attacker. Matty Beniers also scored for the Kraken (16-19-2), who ended a five-game losing skid.
Brock Boeser scored two goals, one on the power play, for the Canucks (17-11-7), who were playing without two star players. Conor Garland also scored his first goal in 13 games for Vancouver. Jake DeBrusk celebrated his 500th NHL game with his team-leading 16th goal and added an assist. Carson Soucy and J.T. Miller each had two assists. Canuck goaltender Thatcher Demko stopped 16 shots. Seattle goalie Philipp Grubauer made 25 saves. Vancouver defenceman Quinn Hughes and centre Elias Pettersson missed the game with undisclosed injuries. Pettersson broke out of a seven-game scoring drought with a pair of goals in Vancouver’s 4-3 win over the San Jose Sharks on Monday. He left that game in the third period. Hughes had two assists in the win over San Jose. Last year’s Norris Trophy winner as the league’s top defenceman leads the Canucks with 42 points and 34 assists.
