The Seattle Kraken picked up a big 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday, February 28th. It was their third matchup this season, and Seattle now leads the series 2 games to 1. The Kraken jumped out early with two quick goals in the first period and held strong, adding three more in the third to seal the victory. Two Kraken defensemen hit major milestones in the game. Vince Dunn played in his 600th NHL game and scored the opening goal with a shot from the blue line. Just minutes later, Adam Larson earned his 200th career assist on the next tally. Both have been with Seattle since day one, forming the top defensive pair. Fans at climate pledgerina shower the ice with hats for Jordan Eberle, who seemed to notch a hat trick with two goals in an empty netter, but officials later credited his second goal to Maddie Beneers, giving Eberle just an assist.

1:00It's the second time in two months a Kraken hat trick outweaved off, leaving supporters disappointed once again. This marked Seattle's first win since the three-week Olympic break. They struggled in their first two games back, scoring just one goal each against Dallas and St. Louis. Now, on a six-game homestand at home, the victory gives them momentum in the tight playoff push. The Kraken sit in the second wildcard spot with 65 points, tied with Utah and Edmonton below them. Every point counts this late in the season. They continue the homestand Monday, March 2, hosting the Carolina Hurricanes. Support for this D&N episode comes from our sponsor. Do not just fall asleep.
