Former Flame Mark Giordano put Seattle ahead 2-1 by scoring on a two-on-one at 5:10 of the final period. The Kraken led by one, but could have been ahead by three or four goals. “I think we should be happy with this road trip,” Horvat said. “Obviously, there was some ups and downs. But I thought we responded well from playing bad in Buffalo. Getting those last two wins was huge for our group.
But at 11:09 of the second period, Horvat collected Garland’s pass into the high slot and beat Grubauer stick side to tie the game 1-1. It felt like Vancouver was getting blown out yet suddenly the Canucks were tied.
