Game Summary
Just under three minutes into the second period, Oleksiak snapped a wrist shot from the blue line that slipped through a crowd of players, including goalie Söderblom, marking his second goal this season.
Following a tripping penalty by Hawks center Ryan Donato, Seattle quickly capitalized eight seconds into the power play. Eberle executed a saucered backhand pass to Beniers in the slot, who scored his second goal of the season.
Chicago managed to score in the third period on a breakaway when André Burakovsky, formerly of the Kraken, found himself alone in front of the net after a precise feed from Connor Bedard. Burakovsky’s goal was his first against his previous team since being traded in the offseason.
"Burakovsky, who spent the last three seasons with the Kraken before an offseason trade to the Hawks in exchange for Joe Veleno, was all alone in front of the Seattle net thanks to a textbook feed from Connor Bedard."
Seattle's captain, Jordan Eberle, extended the Kraken’s lead back to two goals late in the game after a Hawks turnover in the neutral zone, scoring his team-leading fifth goal of the year with under four minutes remaining.
Final Notes
The Kraken's timely scoring and strong goaltending secured their win over the Blackhawks, who struggled to contain their former player Burakovsky and the Kraken’s offensive pressure throughout the game.
