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.

A trio of Seattle Seahawks who were on injured reserve are returning to practice.
Safety Julian Love, defensive lineman Jarran Reed and wide receiver Dareke Young were each designated to return to practice by the Seahawks on Wednesday.
Ernest Jones IV named NFC Defensive Player of the Week
The 27-year-old Love, a starter and leader on Seattle’s defense, has missed nine games this season with a hamstring injury and last played in Week 4 against Arizona. The 2023 Pro Bowl selection was placed on IR Nov. 1, meaning last week was the earliest he was eligible to return. Love had 18 tackles, two passed defended and one sack in three games before heading to IR.
Reed, a 32 year old a key member of the Seahawks’ defensive line rotation, was placed on IR Nov. 8 and has missed the past four games with wrist and thumb injuries. He had 17 tackles and 1.5 sacks in eight games prior to the injuries.
Young, 26, also went on IR Nov. 8 while dealing with a quadriceps injury. A key special-teams player, Young had seven tackles and 10 kickoff returns for 322 yards before his injury. He also had two receptions for 48 yards.
Reed and Young became eligible to return to practice this week.
The Seahawks now have a 21-day window to activate each player to the 53-man roster or place them on IR for the rest of the season. Players do not count against the 53-man roster until they are activated.
Other notable Seahawks still on IR include center Jalen Sundell, wide receiver Tory Horton and tight end Eric Saubert.
