    Of note: Kraken coach Dave Hakstol in this game made a couple of unexpected roster decisions. Grubauer got the call in all three games of this California road trip. Rookie callup Ryan Winterton is sitting for the second consecutive game, Logan Morrison his third. We speculated about that here .

    Also, the Kraken are without both of the first-pair defensemen. In addition to Larsson, Vince Dunn is back out injured. Dunn took a shot off his arm Wednesday against the Kings. Cale Fleury, up from Coachella Valley, draws in on defense.

    It sure looks like Wright is having fun centering a line between veteran wingers Jordan Eberle and Jaden Schwartz. From behind the net, Schwartz feeds Wright for his second goal and a 2-0 Kraken lead at 2:29. Eberle drew the second helper.

    For the second time in three games, the Kraken have gotten goals from both Wright and Matty Beniers. What's more, on a Kraken power play, Wright centers a pass off Beniers' skate for a 3-0 lead at 11:40.

    Gudas sends Brandon Tanev head over tea kettle at the Anaheim blueline. In the subsequent scrum, Tye Kartye gets a bloodied nose standing up for his teammate.

    Judged to have used more leg than hip - which is what enraged the Kraken - Gudas is sent off for tripping. When Can Fowler joins him for cross-checking Wright, the Kraken have 1:08 of 5-on-3.

    Seattle, which didn't have a two-man advantage goal all season, still doesn't.

    On the Ducks' "Legacy Night," it's the youngsters filling the scoresheet. 19-year-old Carlsson, picked 2nd overall by Anaheim last summer, makes a highlight move and highlight shot to bring the home team within 3-1 at 16:35.

    If goalposts could feel pain, the left pipe would be screaming after Jared McCann's semi-breakaway laser.

    Before Carlsson's goal, the Ducks went more than 14 minutes without a shot on goal. Seattle led in 2nd period SOG 12-3, 24-12 for the game.
