Vince Dunn scored a power-play goal at 1:21 of overtime as the Seattle Kraken snapped a six-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory against the visiting Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night.
Seattle’s Matty Beniers tied the game on a power-play goal with 26 seconds left in regulation. Eeli Tolvanen assisted on both late goals, Dunn also had two assists and Jared McCann tallied for the Kraken. Goaltender Joey Daccord made 24 saves as Seattle ended an 0-5-1 skid.
Alex Laferriere and Kevin Fiala scored for the Kings, who had a two-game winning streak snapped. Goalie Anton Forsberg stopped 30 of 33 shots.
The Kraken forced overtime when Beniers redirected a pass from Tolvanen over Forsberg’s shoulder after the goalie was assessed a penalty for tripping McCann, who was injured on the play, at 19:21. Seattle got another power play in overtime as Adrian Kempe was called for tripping at 1:05, and Dunn soon converted a slap shot from the top of the right faceoff circle.

Connor Bedard registered a goal and an assist and Spencer Knight pitched his second shutout of the season for host Chicago in a win over New York.

Knight made 21 saves while logging the seventh shutout of his career. Bedard moved into a tied for third on the NHL leaderboard with 19 goals.
