Kakko scores 2 in 3rd period, Seattle Kraken beat Sabres 6-2
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Kaapo Kakko scored twice in the third period, Joey Daccord made 33 saves and the Seattle Kraken overcame an early two-goal deficit to beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-2 on Saturday.
Seattle Kraken 6, Buffalo Sabres 2: Box score
Oliver Bjorkstrand gave Seattle the lead on a scramble in front of the net at 3:08 of the third. Kakko scored 38 seconds later, and added another goal on a power play 1:40 after that.
Andre Burakovsky, Ryker Evans and Brandon Tanev also scored to help the Kraken snap a four-game skid. Chandler Stephenson, Joshua Mahura and Jared McCann each had two assists.
The Kraken scored six straight goals after Sam Lafferty and Jack Quinn gave the Sabres a 2-0 lead in the first period. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stopped 24 shots for Buffalo.
The Sabres had won two in a row.
Takeaways
Seattle Kraken: Rallied from a multi-goal deficit for an NHL-best sixth time, rebounding from a 6-2 loss in Columbus on Thursday night.
Buffalo Sabres: Fans booed and bellowed for general manager Kevyn Adams to be fired and owner Terry Pegula to sell the team after the season’s 15th blown lead in a loss.
Key moment
After Luukkonen made the save on an initial shot by Burakovsky, the rebound shot by Bjorkstrand ricocheted off the goalie’s leg pad and into the net off the glove of Sabres defenseman Jacob Bryson.

Former Georgia RB interviewing with Seattle Seahawks
The Chicago Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown is interviewing with the Seattle Seahawks to be their offensive coordinator.
The Seahawks fired offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb after one season. Seattle missed out on the 2024 NFL postseason, but has a very talented offense and is a desirable job for prospective play-callers.
Brown, who is a former Georgia Bulldogs running back, served as Chicago’s interim head coach after the Bears fired Matt Eberflus. Brown went 1-4 as the Bears’ interim coach.
The Bears hired Brown as their passing game coordinator, but they promoted Brown to their offensive coordinator role after they fired Shane Waldron. The Bears had an under-performing offense despite having a bunch of talent surrounding quarterback Caleb Williams, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
Brown has previous experience as the Carolina Panthers’ offensive coordinator in 2023. He was the Panthers’ play-caller for part (primarily the second-half of the season) of Carolina’s brutal 2-15 season.
Chicago interviewed Brown for their offensive coordinator role before the season before the Bears ended up hiring Brown as their passing game coordinator.
Brown served as an offensive assistant with the Los Angeles Rams under Sean McVay before coming to Carolina and Chicago. He is highly respected throughout the NFL.
Brown rushed for 2,646 yards and 23 touchdowns in his Georgia career from 2004-2007.
