Seattle came into Anaheim trying to avoid a series sweep by the Ducks who had previously bested them in two earlier meetings, and avoid it they did. Anaheim's powerful offense was true to form, attacking through the first 40 minutes of play, but it was the Kraken who got on the board first. While the Ducks would answer Seattle's first two scores, and gain a lead halfway through the second, the Kraken fought for a tie going into the final 20 minutes. The visitors quieted their opponent's attack in the third period with Jordan Eberle delivering the exclamation point of a game-winner with 1:42 left to play. It was Eberle's first goal in 23 games (he last scored Dec. 6 vs Pittsburgh).
Let's look at the game "by the numbers."
