Kraken Defeat Golden Knights 4-3 in Overtime – Hockey Writers – Seattle Kraken

Nov. 8 started a six game streak for the Seattle Kraken. After five games on the road, they should feel more confident on home ice. Hosting the Vegas Golden Knights, they did not show hospitality. They snapped their four-game losing streak, defeating the Golden Knights 4-3 in overtime.

Recap of the game

Everything was quiet until half time of the first half. Nine minutes into the game, Tye Kartye and Ryker Evans were put in the penalty box, Kartye for tripping Jack Eichel and Evans for hitting Eichel. While the Kraken were down two men, Vegas was able to score on the power play. Pavel Dorofeyev opened the scoring for both teams. Four minutes later, Vegas scored again, this time through Nicolas Roy.

With two minutes to go, the Kraken finally got on the board. Brandon Tanev scored when he broke away from his block on a shot by Brayden McNabb. The Kraken entered the second half, trailing by one.

Six minutes into the second half, Tanev scored again for the Kraken. Getting his second goal of the night and Kartye getting an assist, the two tied the game. With no further action in the second, the pressure was on for the third.

The third period started strongly. Oliver Bjorkstrand scored just three minutes into the third. Jaden Schwartz attempted a shot, and Bjorkstrand was able to get a rebound after a botched shot attempt. He was fit for last Tuesday's game. After that shooting, he proved his worth to the team.

With the Kraken leading by one goal, the Golden Knights were feeling the pressure late in the game. They pulled Adin Hill, hoping the extra attacker would allow them to score. Unfortunately for the Kraken, Tomas Hertl was able to profit from this. He tied the game with one minute left. As the buzzer sounded, both teams headed into overtime.

However, the overtime did not last long. Jared McCann scored just 29 seconds into OT. He managed to get a break, made the puck, and sent it into the back of the net to win the game.

With two points on the board, the Kraken look to gain two more when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Nov. 12.
