Kraken vs. Ducks 2nd Period Recap

For the Anaheim Ducks, life doesn't begin at 30, at least not in good ways. The Ducks are 30th in goals for per game, 30th in goals allowed per game, and 30th on the penalty kill. Such are the growing pains of a rebuild.

Kartye sizzles a shot from between the hashes, but Ducks goalie Lukas Dostal makes a clutch glove save.

Seattle gets its second crack at that Ducks PK, worst in the league on the road. Jaden Schwartz declines to shoot, passing to an empty wing. Rookie Logan Morrison, being given regular PP shifts, has his close-in try blocked.

Still looking for the game's first goal when Seattle goes back on the PP. Schwartz ends up in the net after a scrum; that doesn't count. The puck squirts in off his stick, too. That does count. The Kraken take a 1-0 lead at 9:03.

Eberle's helper is his 400th career assist. (Eberle's also one goal away from 300, and his next point will be #700.)

Frank Vatrano tests Grubauer with two bombs. He saves both, shrugging the second rising blast off his shoulder.

Alex Killorn tries a lift check, which only serves to check Schwartz's face. He rises, scrunching his jaw and blinking the cobwebs away.

Seattle can't add a second PP goal, but boy did they have chances. At one point, the puck lies tantalizingly at the top of the crease, but Anaheim defenders tie up all the Kraken sticks. Later, Eberle tries to catch the Ducks off guard with a stuff attempt, but Dostal is ready.

Seattle ends the period with a puck possession clinic, only halted by the horn. Shots were 9-4 Kraken in the 2nd, 17-14 after 40 minutes.
