Kraken vs. Stars 2nd Period Recap

Shot attempts in the 1st period were lopsided in Dallas' favor, 31-12. Seattle has to work to make that same International Fountain side of the rink tilt in their favor this period.

Oliver Bjorkstrand makes the non-goalie Kraken save of the season. As Jason Robertson is about to deposit the puck into an open net, Bjorkstrand slides across the crease behind his goalie to make the block.

Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger makes bang-bang saves on Brian Dumoulin and rookie Logan Morrison, playing his third NHL game.

Bjorkstrand comes close to breaking the ice on offense, but Oettinger gloves his rising blast.

The Stars - wow, are they talented - make consecutive behind the back passes as ageless Joe Pavelski fires on goal.

Kraken on Kraken Krime: Dallas' Radek Faksa knocks Brian Dumoulin off balance while skating by, causing the defenseman to slide heavily into his goaltender. Both Kraken rise without apparent harm.

On the game's first power play, Seattle's given a nightmare flashback to Thursday, when they surrendered two shorthanded goals to Anaheim. Only Daccord's best save of the contest prevents Roope Hintz from putting the visitors in front.

Tye Kartye crushes Robertson into the side boards. Robertson tries to engage Kartye afterward, to no effect.

Jamie Benn, standing in front, blocks Daccord's view when Nils Lundkvist's long-range wrister is tipped home from the circle by Wyatt Johnston. 1-0 Dallas at 18:12 on Johnston's 29th.

Dallas outshot Seattle 9-8 in the middle 20, with Dallas ahead for the game 20-11.
