SEATTLE (AP) — Yanni Gourde scored two of Seattle's four goals in the third period, including the winner with 6:47 remaining, and the Kraken rallied past the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 on Saturday night.
Jaden Schwartz and defenseman Adam Larsson also scored for the Kraken, who dominated much of the game and finished with a 42-24 shots advantage. Still, they trailed 2-0 entering the third.
Joe Veleno and Taro Hirose had the goals for Detroit, which has dropped seven of eight.
After struggling to get the puck past Red Wings goalie Alex Nedeljkovic (38 saves) most of the game, Seattle broke through in the third.
Larsson got the Kraken on the board at 7:10, trimming Detroit's lead to 2-1 with his career-high fifth goal of the season. Less than three minutes later, Schwartz scored off assists from Vince Dunn and Alex Wennberg to tie it.
Gourde scored the go-ahead goal at 13:13, assisted by Haydn Fleury. Gourde then added an empty-netter with 18.7 seconds left to seal the victory. He's second on the expansion Kraken with 16 goals.
Detroit scored first in the second period, shortly after Seattle failed to take advantage of a 5-on-3 power play. Once the Red Wings returned to full strength, Veleno scored at 13:18 off an assist from Dylan Larkin.
Three minutes later, Hirose scored on a power play to put Detroit up 2-0. Tyler Bertuzzi and Lucas Raymond were credited with assists.
Philipp Grubauer made 22 saves for the Kraken.
Seattle took the game's first 13 shots, but Nedeljkovic made a series of acrobatic stops. Detroit didn't register a shot until forward Sam Gagner's attempt at 11:27 of the first period.
Despite a 16-6 shots advantage for the Kraken, the teams ended the first period scoreless.
