Seattle 3, Arizona 0 After 40 Minutes
Another odd-man rush for Seattle, Bjorkstrand feeding defenseman Justin Schultz - no, you didn't read that backwards. Schultz, who's paid to prevent goals, makes a pinpoint shot over Vejmelka's glove for a 3-0 Seattle lead at 4:29.
Anxious sequence for the Kraken: two saves, a post and a penalty.
Three more Coyote whacks, three more Grubauer saves. In the first 12 minutes of the period, Arizona has 15 shots; still no goals.
Jack McBain's grade-A from in close is also stopped by Grubauer; McBain whacks his stick on the ice in frustration on his way to the bench.
Not for the first time recently, Kraken defenseman Ryker Evans makes a cameo as the last line of defense. Evans steers a puck out of danger after it'd gotten behind his goalie.
Liam O'Brien is the latest to be foiled by Grubauer, somehow turning away O'Brien from 15 feet straight on.
Shots favor Arizona 17-9 in a wide open 2nd period, 25-16 for the game. Goals, though, are 3-0 Seattle.
