Seattle Kraken vs Boston Bruins: Kraken win thrilling shootout | – Times of India
Seattle’s offense was powered by Jordan Eberle, Vince Dunn, and Oliver Bjorkstrand, who each found the back of the net in regulation. Philipp Grubauer stood tall in net for the Kraken, making 29 saves in regulation and overtime before denying all three of Boston’s shootout attempts to secure the win.
Boston’s David Pastrnak was a force to be reckoned with, tallying two goals and an assist to lead the Bruins’ offensive charge. Charlie Coyle also contributed a goal for Boston, while goaltender Linus Ullmark made 24 saves in a hard-fought effort.
The Kraken took their first lead of the game in the third period when Bjorkstrand redirected a shot from Will Borgen past Ullmark. However, the Bruins responded with a power-play goal from Coyle to even the score at 3-3 late in the period, sending the game into overtime.
Both teams had their opportunities in the extra frame, with Seattle’s Matty Beniers hitting the post and Boston’s Jake DeBrusk being denied on a breakaway by Grubauer. Despite the back-and-forth action, neither team could find the game-winning goal, leading to a shootout.
In the shootout, Yamamoto’s clutch goal ultimately proved to be the difference-maker, securing the Kraken’s victory and extending their recent stretch of strong play.
The game was not without controversy, as the Bruins appeared to take the lead late in regulation, only for the goal to be overturned due to goaltender interference following a video review. The call kept the score tied at 2-2 and ultimately played a pivotal role in the outcome of the game.
Overall, it was a hard-fought battle between two competitive teams, but in the end, it was the Kraken who came out on top, earning a well-deserved win in front of their home crowd.
