Backlund then scored into an empty net at 19:52 for the 4-2 final.<\/p>\n

After a scoreless first period in which Calgary outshot Seattle 18-6, Stephenson gave the Kraken a 1-0 lead at 7:52 of the second period, extending his goal streak to three games.<\/p>\n

While cutting towards the net through the left circle, Stephenson took a pass from Eeli Tolvanen<\/a> on his backhand before tucking a forehand shot just inside the far post by the outstretched left leg of Wolf.<\/p>\n

Backlund tied it 1-1 at 10:20, driving hard to the net before a shot by Andersson deflected off his skate and past Daccord.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t happy being down,\u201d Backlund said. \u201cYou can tell the guys were feeling good and playing well and we were believing that we were going to come back and win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kakko put the Kraken ahead 2-1 at 17:16 with a power-play goal, redirecting a pass from Ryker Evans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, you\u2019ve got to find a way,\u201d Kakko said. \u201cThese are the games you\u2019ve just got to win. We were winning and, like I said, you\u2019ve got to find a way.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOTES: Andersson recorded his second three-assist game of the season, having also accomplished the feat in a 5-2 win at the Vancouver Canucks on Nov. 23. Mark Giordano<\/a> is the only Flames defenseman with more three-assist games in a season in the past 30 years (three times in 2018-19). \u2026 Stephenson extended his point streak to seven games (four goals, three assists).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Backlund then scored into an empty net at 19:52 for the 4-2 final.
