Game Highlights
Early in the second period, Jamie Oleksiak scored with a wrist shot from the blue line that slipped through a crowd of players, including Söderblom. It was Oleksiak’s second goal of the season.
Following a tripping penalty by Hawks center Ryan Donato, Seattle capitalized eight seconds into its first power play. Jordan Eberle delivered a backhand pass to Beniers in the slot, who scored his second goal of the season.
Chicago’s sole goal came in the third period on a breakaway. Burakovsky, who spent the prior three seasons with Seattle before being traded to Chicago in the offseason, was left open in front of the net after a precise feed from Connor Bedard.
Jordan Eberle extended Seattle’s lead again late in the third after a Hawks turnover in the neutral zone. The Kraken captain scored his team-leading fifth goal with just under four minutes remaining.
"The Hawks finally broke through against Daccord in the third period on a breakaway chance.
