Seattle scored the tying goal with 26 seconds remaining in regulation on a power play with the goalie pulled. Vince Dunn scored the winning goal on a man advantage in the extra period.

The Kraken have one win in their past 11 games after they failed to dispatch the Calgary Flames in a 4-2 loss on Thursday night.

The Seattle Kraken’s recent struggles continued Sunday night with a 3-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, who picked up their third straight win.
