Analysis: It was a bit different than many we’ve been used to in the past because VGK were the ones holding onto the lead for the majority of this game. However, a bad bounce off the boards handed the Kraken a goal and VGK couldn’t seem to bounce back. Seattle’s skating showed up more and more as the game wore on which led to turnovers in the D-Zone. The OT period was madness and in SO, the 1-6 SEA (now 2-6) outlasted the 1-7 VGK (now 1-8). (Analysis by Ken)
