Kraken's Resilience


The game began with both teams unable to find the back of the net in the first period.

In the third period, Seattle continued their momentum by adding two more goals to their tally. Jaden Schwartz and Michael Eyssimont each contributed one goal apiece, showcasing effective offensive plays that kept them ahead for most parts of this intense matchup.

Tye Kartye played an instrumental role for Seattle by assisting twice during regulation time and making significant contributions defensively with six hits throughout his time on ice.


Blues' Late Push


Despite being down initially, St. Louis made an impressive comeback attempt in the third period by scoring three goals themselves—matching Seattle’s total—and pushing this contest into overtime where neither team managed any additional points before heading into what would become decisive shootouts.
