This Kraken didn't make the start of this game easy on themselves. In the first 10 minutes of play, the team took three penalties, including a double-minor that kept the penalty kill on the ice for the majority of the first period (just 8:38 was played 5-on-5). But captain Mark Giordano wasn't going to let that deter him and after he returned to the ice from his own penalty, he scored the first Kraken shorthanded goal at Climate Pledge Arena, which was also his second in three games. With stellar play coming from Philipp Grubauer in net, as penalties quieted, Seattle was able to find their footing and hold serve against the Bruins. Jordan Eberle scored second to tie the game at 2-2 and that score would hold through regulation, earning the Kraken one standings point. But, ultimately, the bid for a victory would fall short with Jake DeBrusk beating Grubauer from a sharp-angle shot short side just 33 seconds into overtime, ending the game 3-2.
