The loss snapped Anaheim's four-game point streak and dropped the club to 8-9-3 on the season.

Zegras and Vatrano provided the Anaheim offense, bookending the first intermission with goals to put the Ducks ahead 2-1 through 40 minutes. Troy Terry tallied two assists. Lukas Dostal made 24 saves in his 14th start of the season.

Shane Wright, Andre Burakovsky and Brandon Montour scored for the Kraken, who improved to 11-10-1 on the season. Goaltender Joey Daccord earned his 10th win with 21 stops.

Seattle claimed the night's first lead less than 10 minutes into the opening period as Wright secured inside positioning in front of Dostal and tipped linemate Oliver Bjorkstrand's point shot up over the goaltender's right leg pad.

Anaheim answered later in the period, taking advantage of an extended delayed penalty against Seattle. As the Ducks curled back to regroup, Zegras picked up speed down left wing, eventually taking a pass from the sprinting Terry and lifting his shot from in tight past Daccord high to the blocker side.

After opening the season an offensive slump, with just three points in his first 15 games, Zegras has now collected five points in his last five appearances.

With two helpers on the night, Terry leads Anaheim in points (6-8=14) and assists while co-leading in goals. Terry now owns 13 career points in 11 total matchups against Seattle.

The Ducks would then go ahead early in the middle frame when Vatrano drove the net and punched home the rebound from Zellweger's shot off right wing before Daccord could locate the loose puck.

The assist gave Zellweger six points in his last five outings and 10 points in 19 games this season. The 21-year-old paces Ducks blueliners in points and goals, while co-leading in assists with Dumoulin.

Ducks forward Leo Carlsson left the game following a late hit by Kraken forward Tye Kartye in front of the Anaheim net. Carlsson was helped off the ice and did not return with an upper-body injury. Kartye was initially assessed a five-minute major penalty, which was reduced to a two-minute infraction after referee review.

Seattle would retake control early in the third period though, with goals from Burakovsky and Montour 24 seconds apart quickly flipping the script and ultimately securing a 3-2 win for the visitors.

The goal was Burakovsky's first of the season, snapping a 21-game drought.

The Ducks return to action Wednesday in Seattle.
