Are you not entertained? The Kraken used a familiar formula to once again earn a win over the defending Stanley Cup champions. It took a little longer this time, but thanks to Morgan Geekie, Seattle scored first just as they have every other game in this series. And while Colorado would answer, an impressive debut by Tye Kartye culminated in a go-ahead goal that would regain the lead, one the Kraken never relinquished. Yanni Gourde put the third tally on the board allowing Seattle to survive a late Avalanche push and get the third win of the series. Throughout the entire contest, Philipp Grubuaer was once again a key ingredient in securing the game's outcome.
Now, the Kraken head home for what could be a series-deciding Game 6. But it will not be easy. The fourth win in a round is the hardest to come by. Colorado will be putting everything on the line and also will be rejoined by Cale Makar who sat out this game after being suspended for a hit that injured Jared McCann.
