    Two minutes. Two shots. Two goals.

    Shane Wright, fresh off a two-goal, one assist evening in Anaheim on Friday, puts Seattle on top 68 seconds in.

    Coyotes netminder Karel Vejmelka probably should have made the stop, but when you're hot like Wright's been...

    If Scrabble allowed proper names, Arizona's Maksymilian Szuber would be worth, what, 200 points? In ice hockey, he's worth two minutes for holding.

    Andre Burakovsky doesn't get a double word score, but he does double the Kraken's score on the power play at 2:14.

    Defenseman Ryker Evans, the trailer on a 3-on-2, sends a bullet into Vejmelka's chest. This was just after Burakovsky barely missed on a 2-on-1. Someone please go down to the Coyotes bench and let them know the game has started.

    Oliver Bjorkstrand with a crowd-pleasing reverse hit, sending Logan Cooley hard onto his wallet.

    Because 19-year-old 3rd overall draft picks apparently aren't supposed to be touched, Clayton Keller objects. Keller and Bjorkstrand receive matching minors.

    Matias Maccelli gets loose on a breakaway, but can't quite get the puck to settle down. Grubauer smothers his shot, one of nine saves in the period. Seattle had seven SOG.
