Helps The Kraken Advantage By Scoring The Winning Goal.

With 2:39 left in the third quarter, Andre Burakovsky scored on a power play to give the Seattle Kraken a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets.

Manitoba’s WINNIPEG (AP) — With 2:39 left in the third, Andre Burakovsky scored on a power play to give the Seattle Kraken a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.

The Kraken, who have won four of their last five games, were led by goals and two assists from Jared McCann. Other scorers on the scoresheet were Tomas Tatar and Justin Schultz.

With a 4-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on Monday, Seattle had won seven of its previous ten games, finishing 7-2-1, and Joey Daccord had made 30 saves for the club.

Schultz is hoping that the Kraken’s hard-fought back-to-back wins will provide them the motivation they need to keep chasing a postseason berth.

Schultz declared, “We’re still in the fight here.” “These are two significant victories for us because guys want to stay in the battle and we’re not giving up. We still need a lot more of them, but things are moving in the right way.

Mason Appleton, a forward for the Jets, had just stopped a shot when Burakovsky stole the puck and blasted it past Connor Hellebuyck’s glove.

“It’s been a struggle,” Burakovsky remarked. “Considering all of the injuries and lost time, I believe I’ve been playing some pretty excellent hockey lately. It was satisfying to watch one enter at last.

The Jets, who had won their previous two, were led in scoring by Kyle Connor, Adam Lowry, and Nino Niederreiter. Appleton also chipped in with two assists. Hellebuyck halted twenty shots.

“It was definitely not our best,” Jets coach Rick Bowness said after the game.

“That’s a frustrating loss,” Bowness said. “Seattle led 1-0 after the first period. It was 2-2 after the second and 3-3 inside the first two minutes of the third.

Tatar scored at 1:17 of the third, but Niederreiter answered 25 seconds later to tie the score. At 8:45 in the first, Schultz broke through and put a low shot past Hellebuyck. Afterward, Winnipeg took advantage of a Seattle mistake, and at 8:07 in the second, Connor scored his 26th goal of the year after Mark Scheifele sent him a cross-ice pass.

After Blake Wheeler, who had 812 points in 897 games, Scheifele became the second player in team history to achieve 700 points in his career in his 778th game.

Reaching the milestone, Scheifele remarked, “It’s a very humbling, humbling thing and obviously excited and proud and lots more work to do.”

Late in the second period, Winnipeg used a power play, but with 2:04 left in the game, McCann scored on a breakaway and beat Hellebuyck. In back-to-back games, McCann became the first player in Kraken history to score with a short hand.

With nine seconds remaining, Appleton passed the puck to Lowry behind the net, who sent it past Daccord to tie the game for the Jets at 2-2. The season’s ninth goal for Lowry broke a 21-game goal drought.
