Jordan Eberle scores his 300th goal in Seattle's first win of the season.

Saturday night in Saint Paul, Minnesota the Seattle Kraken faced off against the Wild at Xcel Energy Center for the team's first away game of the regular season.

The game celebrated several milestones on both benches. Seattle's Jamie Oleksiak's celebrated his 600th NHL game and Minnesota's Marc-André Fleury was in the net for his 21st NHL season. Mats Zuccarello scored his 200th goal at 9:22 in the first period after a sleepy start from both sides.

A significantly delayed call on Schwartz for tripping nearly led to a power play goal by Kirill Kaprizov, but the clock ran out just before the Wild's left winger could get the puck past Daccord.

Second period started off fast and furious with a wrist shot goal from the Wild's Matt Boldy. But the Kraken answered back with a tip-in by Jordan Eberle, marking the 300th goal for Seattle's newest captain.

Eberle scored his second goal of the night, tying things up for the Kraken with a redirected power play goal.

Marcus Johansson, who played 51 games with the Kraken in their first season, took a hard hit after initiating contact with Eberle and struggled to make his way back to the Wild's bench.

A penalty on Zack Bogosian for tripping Chandler Stephenson results in a power play for Seattle. Just seconds after the Wild successfully kills the penalty, time runs out on the play clock, leaving the period tied at 2-2.

Kirill Kaprizov scores his second of the game less than two minutes into the third period making it 3-2 Wild. The Kraken put the pressure on Fleury and it results with Ty Kartye's first goal of the season, tying things back up again.

At 7:27 Shane Wright shifts a bit too far leaving just enough space in the front of the Kraken net for the Wild's Ryan Hartman to score a wrist shot, making it 4-3 Wild. The Kraken turned up the pressure on the Wild resulting in a slap shot goal from Jaren McCann tying things up 4-4 forcing overtime.

In a tense five minutes of overtime, neither team finds the net, setting the stage for a shootout. Minnesota's Mats Zuccarello takes the first shot, effortlessly slipping one past Daccord for the initial point. Oliver Bjorkstrand zigzags his way in and scores against Fleury. Kaprizov's shot clangs off the top of the net, while Eberle finds the back of the net on the glove side. With Daccord blocking Matt Boldy's attempt, the Kraken clinch a thrilling 5-4 victory in their first win of the season.

Seattle's first road trip of the season heads to Dallas on Sunday and Nashville on Tuesday before returning home to face the Flyers on Thursday.
