Kraken vs. Ducks 2nd Period Recap

The Kraken callups combine for a high-danger chance. Morrison finds Ryan Winterton, whose blast from the top of the right wing circle is shouldered away by Gibson.

The Ducks have the NHL's worst road penalty kill. So unforced errors, like too many men on the ice, are a dangerous proposition.

For the second consecutive power play, Seattle benefits from a fortunate bounce. A deflection off Pavel Mintyukov goes straight to Oliver Bjorkstrand's blade, and he doesn't miss. 3-0 Kraken on Bjorkstrand's 19th at 5:08.

Tolvanen and Beniers, who draw the assists, both have two-point nights.

Anaheim's top offensive threat, 30-goal scorer Frank Vatrano, lets go a right circle laser on a Ducks power play. Daccord makes his best stop - one of just six saves he's had to make with the game more than half done.

Daccord's seventh save is special, too, flopping on his belly to make a pad save on Isac Lundestrom's backhand from close range. The Kraken still have an 18-7 SOG advantage.

Presented without comment:

A Kraken misplay leads to a Ducks odd-man rush, which they promptly foul (fowl?) up. Now it's Seattle's turn with a 3-on-1 chance. Beniers to Tolvanen to Beniers to the back of the net and the Kraken lead 4-0 at 15:55.

Shots are 14-5 Seattle in the period, 27-9 (!) after 40.
