NHL News: Kraken use 5 second-period goals to thrash Oilers

Added to Favorite


Jaden Schwartz scored twice as the host Seattle Kraken collected five goals in the second period en route to a 6-1 trouncing of the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday.

Jani Nyman, Andrei Burakovsky and Jared McCann each collected one goal and one assist while Matty Beniers added a score for the Kraken (31-36-6, 68 points), who set a franchise record for goals in a period during a home game and snapped a three-game winless skid (0-2-1).

Seattle goaltender Joey Daccord made 36 saves.

Edmonton had won the previous nine meetings between the Pacific Division clubs.

Zach Hyman scored for the Oilers (41-26-5, 87 points), who were without their top two scorers, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and have lost three of four games.

Calvin Pickard stopped 24 of 29 shots after being given a mercy pull after two periods. Olivier Rodrigue, a 2018 draft pick summoned from the minors with Stuart Skinner on the shelf due to injury, made his NHL debut in relief and surrendered one goal against eight shots.

Edmonton remains third in the Pacific Division, two points behind the Los Angeles Kings. Seattle is 17 points out of a playoff spot with nine games remaining.

Schwartz sent the Kraken off and running with a power-play goal 78 seconds into the middle frame, a nifty redirect of Burakovsky’s feed at the doorstep.

Schwartz doubled the lead two minutes later by intercepting a clearing attempt, working to the right faceoff dot and whipping a shot into the cage. It was his fourth goal in a three-game streak.

Nyman extended Seattle’s edge at 10:50 of the period by deflecting Adam Larsson’s point shot, and then Beniers made it a four-goal lead 16 seconds later with a tap-in from the edge of the crease set up by Kaapo Kakko.

The Kraken were not done. Burakovsky made it 5-0 at 12:41 when he had the presence to find a puck lying at his feet when a point shot hit him. He slid it into the cage.

Hyman cracked Daccord’s shutout hopes with a rebound goal at 4:59 of the third period, his fifth goal in as many games.

McCann responded four minutes later when he batted a puck out of the air and into the net to round out the scoring.
