Anaheim ties second game in home-and-home series with Seattle.
Seattle, WA - The Seattle Kraken hosted the Anaheim Ducks for a Thanksgiving rematch Wednesday night. After a late rally to win 4-3 on Monday, Seattle fell 5-2 in regulation. The Kraken's seven-game win streak over Anaheim ended, as missed power-play opportunities and the Ducks' dominant defense proved costly.
Anaheim came out with a vengeance in the first period, as Frank Vatrano and Brett Leason each found the back of the net. Eeli Tolvanen answered for Seattle with a sharp snap shot past Ducks goalie John Gibson.
Oliver Bjorkstrand opened the second period with a goal at 8:58 assisted by Shane Wright, but that would be the last point for the Kraken.
Alex Killorn, Cutter Gauthier would add a pair of goals for Anaheim taking the 4-2 lead at the end of the second. Trevor Zegras would make it 5-2 in the third.
Former Everett Silvertips Olen Zellweger who leads Anaheim blueliners in points, made 3 attempts off Joey Daccord, but failed to get on net.
Despite the Kraken's 44 shot attempts not much landed in the net for John Gibson who's winning streak continues for the season.
