    Half of Seattle's defense - Jamie Oleksiak, Justin Schultz, and Brian Dumoulin - once called Pittsburgh home. Same for forwards Jared McCann and Brandon Tanev.

    The Pens' second power play yields four shots, including a smart Rickard Rakell spinaround backhander. Grubauer saves them all.

    Jarry makes a fine glove snare of Tomas Tatar's wrist shot on the rush. Soon after, he makes the save on Bjorkstrand, shooting from almost the same spot. Halfway through the game, SOG are 24-13 Pittsburgh.

    The Kraken kill a third Penguins power play, thanks to four more Grubauer saves.

    As it ends, Yanni Gourde springs in on a partial breakaway. Jarry makes the save, leaving Gourde wondering to the official why a trailing Malkin wasn't called for hooking (a fair question - Malkin got his stick on Yanni's hands).

    Gourde breaks over the Pittsburgh blueline with speed again, firing a laser which Jarry rejects. Also worth noting: the Kraken center's enormous open-ice kabong on Letang.

    Grubauer makes two last-minute saves on Malkin and Valtteri Puustinen. He's pitching a 29-save shutout after two periods, with the Kraken having 16 replies.
