Seattle 0, San Jose 0 After 20 Minutes
Brandon Tanev gets the first grade-A chance, a steal and an open-ice blast, saved by San Jose goalie Mackenzie Blackwood.
Whatever happens the rest of the night, the best news for the Kraken is that winger Andre Burakovky rises from a trip, no worse for wear. Twice this season, Burakovsky's tumbles into corner boards resulted in lengthy injuries.
Seattle spends the full two minutes of power play time in the Sharks zone, but don't connect on any of their three SOG.
Fortunately for the Kraken, Mike Hoffman shoots wide on a late 2-on-1.
Seattle had the better of possession, reflected in a 13-3 shots on goal edge. But the scrappy Sharks, winners of three of their last four, battle the Kraken to a nil-nil draw after one period.
I guess if we're looking for goals, we should turn our attention to Seattle's ECHL affiliate, the Kansas City Mavericks.
