Second Period

Third Period


In the final period, Andre Burakovsky finally put Chicago on the scoreboard with an even-strength goal assisted by Connor Bedard. This marked Bedard's contribution as he continues to be a key player for Chicago despite their struggles. However, Jordan Eberle sealed Seattle’s victory with another goal late in this segment.


The post game analysis highlights that while Soderblom made 21 saves and maintained composure under pressure, it wasn't enough against a determined Kraken side who had superior faceoff wins and shot accuracy at 12 percent compared to Chicago’s 3 percent shooting percentage.
