GAME RECAP

CHI: 0, SEA: 1

2nd - 0:47 - Alex Wennberg (Ryan Donato, Jordan Eberle)

After a scoreless first period, the Kraken broke the deadlock in the opening minute of the second. Chicago won a faceoff in their own end and quickly cleared the puck to center ice, but Adam Larsson corralled it and quickly sent it the other direction. Jordan Eberle took a pass and quickly found Alex Wennberg at the blue line entering the zone with speed, where he walked around the Blackhawks defense in transition and tucked a shot past Kevin Lankinen for a 1-0 advantage.

CHI: 0, SEA: 2

3rd - 18:21 - Jordan Eberle (Yanni Gourde, Riley Sheahan)

Jordan Eberle put the game away with under two minutes to play, walking into the offensive end and putting a shot through a defenseman screen and past the glove of Kevin Lankinen for a 2-0 lead.
