There are multiple Kraken personnel with ties to Pittsburgh, including the team’s general manager and coach both connected to glory postseasons. But it was two-time Penguin and now Kraken defenseman Jamie Oleksiak who revived the Kraken offensive attack Tuesday night in this snowy town,
Chandler Stephenson also tallied and Kaapo Kakko had three assists for the Kraken, who began a run of nine of 10 games on home ice. Daccord made 28 saves, stopping everything he faced in the final period, including a breakaway by Warren Foegele, when Los Angeles had a 17-1 edge in shots.
Somewhat lost in Jaden Schwartz’s hat trick and a 4-2 win for the Kraken over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night was what happened in the third period.
Schwartz put Seattle ahead 2-1 at 7:40, finishing off a 4-on-2 rush by scoring on a wrist shot from the right circle. Josh Mahura started the break by creating a turnover when he checked Warren Foegele in the defensive zone.
Seattle took the lead at 8:54 after defenseman Josh Mahura skated the puck from his own end down the left wing and behind the Penguins' net. He fed Shane Wright, who sent a pass across the top of the crease to Tolvanen, who lifted the puck over Jarry from near the left post. Kakko clinched the victory with an empty-netter at 18:57.
The Kraken look to maintain their dominance over Buffalo, and aim to build momentum for the second half of the season. Puck drop for Monday's game is 1PM PST.
Jamie Oleksiak scored a goal and recorded the 100th assist of his NHL career, and Adam Larsson scored the game-winning goal in the third period as the Seattle Kraken beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-4 on Monday afternoon.

Jaden Schwartz had a hat trick, Joey Daccord made 17 of his 28 saves in the third period and the Seattle Kraken beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 on Saturday night.
