Seattle scored three times in the third period but lost 4-3 to the New York Rangers at Climate Pledge Arena.
The Story
The Seattle Kraken mounted a late push that threatened to erase a four-goal deficit, but the New York Rangers held on for a 4-3 win Saturday at Climate Pledge Arena.
Gabe Perreault gave the Rangers an early lead, scoring at 1:35 after converting a feed from Mika Zibanejad following an initial attempt by Alexis Lafreniere that was stopped by Joey Daccord.
Tye Kartye returned to Seattle and scored on a power play at 9:05, tipping an Adam Fox shot past Daccord. Jaroslav Chmelar extended the advantage at 13:53, and Pavel Dorofeyev made it 4-0 in the second period with a goal at 12:46, finishing a sequence involving Zibanejad and Lafreniere. Daccord was pulled after allowing four goals, and the Rangers received the lead they built through the first 40 minutes.
Kaapo Kakko sparked Seattle’s comeback at 1:50 of the third period, collecting a Brandon Montour rebound and slipping the puck inside the far post. Jordan Eberle then cut the deficit to two with a power-play goal at 6:38, redirecting Matty Beniers’ cross-crease pass.
Vince Dunn gave the Kraken a chance to salvage a point at 15:02 when he hammered Berkly Catton’s feed past Rangers goaltender Joonas Korpisalo, but Seattle could not find the equalizer before time ran out.
Korpisalo made 25 saves in the win. Catton finished with two assists, and Kartye’s goal against his former team added an extra subplot to the game.
