Kraken Defeat Ducks 3-2 – Hockey Writers – Seattle Kraken
On November 25, the Anaheim Ducks host the Seattle Kraken. Although the home team had a tough fight, it was the Kraken who won 3-2.
Recap of the game
Seven minutes into the first half, the Kraken opened the scoring for both teams. Shane Wright returned to the Kraken lineup after a week of recovery and scored the first goal of the game. Assisted by a pass from Ryker Evans, Wright was in front of the net which allowed his shot to find its mark. With just four minutes left in the game, the Ducks tied the game. Troy Terry passed the post to Trevor Zegras, who managed to score the first goal for the Ducks.
The start of the second half started well for Dada. At 6:17 Frank Vatrano extended the Ducks' lead. Aided by Olen Zellweger and Terry again, Vatrano was able to put the Ducks at the front of the pack.
Four minutes before the end of the game, Tye Kartye hit Leo Carlsson with a great goal that caused a stir. Carlsson was too late to get up, and did not return to the game. There was clear frustration on the Ducks' part after that hit. Kartye found the minor two minutes into the interference. Radko Gudas got a penalty for fouling Kartye and Zegras got one for hacking. Despite two men in the box in retaliation for the hit, the Kraken were unable to score on the power play.
The Kraken got off to a strong start in the third. Less than a minute later, Andre Burakovsky scored a goal. With Jared McCann and Burakovsky passing in front of the net, it allowed for a great scoring opportunity. 24 seconds later, the Kraken put another goal on the board. Wright was able to win the faceoff, who passed the puck to Brandon Montour. He sent a blast to the blue line, scoring the third and final goal of the night.
