Kaapo Kakko<\/a> had two goals and an assist, and Jared McCann<\/a> had a goal and an assist for the Kraken (20-14-7), who pushed their point streak to nine games (8-0-1).<\/p>\n

Joey Daccord<\/a> made 32 saves for Seattle, which won 5-1 at the Calgary Flames on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was kind of a run-and-gun type of game tonight, not something we\u2019re used to kind of playing,\u201d McCann said. \u201cWe showed that we could score goals, but we know we can be a bit better defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Pastrnak<\/a> scored twice, and Viktor Arvidsson<\/a> had a goal and an assist for the Bruins (22-19-2), who closed out their five-game road trip 2-2-1. Jeremy Swayman<\/a> made 20 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a wasted opportunity. We were rested, and they come in on a back-to-back, so that\u2019s one that we\u2019ve got to win and steal those points,\u201d Pastrnak said. \u201cSo like I said, wasted opportunity. It\u2019s been a long trip, and that\u2019s a tough loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordan Eberle<\/a> made it 1-0 at 8:50 of the first period on a 5-on-3 power play. Vince Dunn<\/a>\u2019s shot from the point hit Matty Beniers<\/a> at the top of the crease and skipped to Eberle, who lifted it into an open net behind Swayman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings are going in right now,\u201d Seattle coach Lane Lambert said. \u201cSometimes it has a way of ebbs and flows of the season, that kind of thing. But the power play was outstanding again tonight.”<\/p>\n

Pastrnak tied it 1-1 at 12:47. He won a race to Nikita Zadorov<\/a>\u2019s dump-in to the right corner, then faked a slap shot and chipped it into the top right corner from the bottom of the right circle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no excuse to be tired,\u201d Pastrnak said. \u201cWe should have been the fresher team. At times we were, but again, we made a lot of mistakes, and against a team that is feeling good and everything is clicking for them right now, you can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kaapo Kakko had two goals and an assist, and Jared McCann had a goal and an assist for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":393833,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-393832","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393832\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
