The Seattle Kraken saw a four-game winning streak end Tuesday night, falling 4-2 to the Anaheim Ducks as a late comeback fell short.<\/p>\n
Seattle gave up four unanswered goals before rallying in the final minutes. <\/p>\n
Jordan Eberle scored with 4:30 left to break up Anaheim\u2019s bid for a shutout, redirecting Jared McCann\u2019s slap shot in front for his team-leading 20th goal. <\/p>\n
The Kraken pulled within two again when a giveaway by Lukas Dostal led to a puck that deflected in off Shane Wright with 2:31 remaining.<\/p>\n
The Kraken pressed late, forcing Dostal to make several stops, and Chandler Stephenson hit the post before time expired. <\/p>\n
Philipp Grubauer finished with 27 saves for Seattle.<\/p>\n
Anaheim built its lead with goals from Cutter Gauthier, Jacob Trouba, Alex Killorn and Ross Johnston. <\/p>\n
Gauthier opened the scoring early in the second period with a snap shot from the right circle just as a Ducks power play ended. <\/p>\n
Trouba made it 2-0 late in the period with a slap shot from the right point.<\/p>\n
Killorn extended the lead 24 seconds into the third period from a sharp angle, and Johnston scored at 13:54 to make it 4-0.<\/p>\n
Seattle entered the game having won four straight and five of its previous six. <\/p>\n
Despite the loss, the Kraken still hold a game in hand on Anaheim in the Pacific Division standings.<\/p>\n
Dostal finished with 26 saves for the Ducks, who improved to 17-8-1 at home. <\/p>\n
Jansen Harkins and defenseman Jackson LaCombe each had two assists for Anaheim.<\/p>\n
The Ducks\u2019 shutout drought remains the longest active streak in the NHL. <\/p>\n
Their last shutout came Oct. 12, 2024, when Dostal made 26 saves in a 2-0 win at San Jose.<\/p>\n
The Kraken play at Los Angeles on Wednesday night to conclude a three-game road trip before the Olympic break.<\/p>\n
