Kraken score 4 straight goals in 2nd period in win against Oilers

EDMONTON --Jaden Schwartz had a goal and two assists, and the Seattle Kraken handed the Edmonton Oilers their fifth straight home loss with a 5-2 win at Rogers Place on Tuesday.

Matty Beniers and Alex Wennberg each had a goal and an assist, Justin Schultz had two assists, and Martin Jones made 30 saves for the Kraken (20-12-4), who were playing the first of a seven-game road trip.
Seattle scored four consecutive goals in the second period after falling behind 2-0.
"We were a little bit sloppy with the puck, especially early in the first 10 minutes, but we were checking well and we cleaned up our puck play," Kraken coach Dave Hakstol said. "We got ourselves into a hole with the second goal against. That was a broken play, a mistake on our part, and it ended up in our net, but we were able to battle back."
Connor McDavid scored his NHL-leading 33rd goal of the season for the Oilers (20-17-2), who are 0-4-1 during the home skid. Stuart Skinner gave up four goals on 20 shots before he was replaced by Jack Campbell at 15:48 of the second period. Campbell made three saves.
"There was a lapse in the second period there where we allowed four goals in 11 minutes. We fall asleep and they take advantage there, and it cost us," Edmonton forward Zach Hyman said. "We just stopped playing. We weren't tight on checks and had a couple of face-off goals [against], which we talk about all of the time. We go over things and talk about it, but it is just mental lapses and not being hard on the puck. It was not one guy, it was throughout the entire lineup."

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored on the power play at 12:47 of the first period to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead. He collected a puck played across the crease by Leon Draisaitl and scored from a sharp angle.
McDavid scored 48 seconds into the second period to make it 2-0 when he picked up the puck in the neutral zone, skated past Kraken defenseman Carson Soucy, and tucked a shot around Jones.
"We battled and put ourselves in a position where we were up 2-0, and then they had a good push and we weren't able to respond. That is frustrating," Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse said. "Even in the third, you are putting on pressure and then we get one that is disallowed. It is frustrating not to get the result. They had a push and made their opportunities count."

Beniers cut it to 2-1 at 4:44 when he knocked in a rebound out of the air off a shot from Daniel Sprong on a power play.
Schwartz scored 31 seconds later, taking a pass from Beniers at the side of the net and knocking it in to tie it 2-2.
Yanni Gourde put the Kraken in front 3-2 at 12:42, picking up a loose puck in front in traffic and shooting past Skinner.
"I think we actually played pretty well in the first. I thought we came out, played hard, did the right things, got the pucks deep and played down low," Gourde said. "In the second period, we got that one goal and it gave us some wings offensively, and we were able to make more plays offensively, and I think we kept our game pretty simple. We weren't trying too much, we weren't trying to pass through guys, we were just putting it at the net and trying to work our way there, and we got rewarded."
Jared McCann pushed the lead to 4-2 at 15:48, converting a pass from Wennberg, who collected the puck after it bounced out in front of Skinner's glove. Skinner was replaced by Campbell following the goal.
"We fell asleep for a 10-minute span in the second period and made some uncharacteristic errors in areas we typically have a lot of pride in," Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said. "Tonight, that 10-minute span killed us. That's not typical and not good enough."

Draisaitl appeared to cut the lead on a power play at 1:40 of the third period when he one-timed a cross-ice pass from McDavid, but the Kraken challenged for offside, and a video review determined Hyman preceded the puck into the offensive zone.
"That's the guys in the back room, that's [video coaches] Tim [Ohashi] and Brady [Morgan] doing a great job, working through their process taking the short amount of time they have, and they got it right," Hakstol said. "That's a really tight call, but it's clear, and at the end of the day, that is the right call."
Wennberg scored into an empty net at 17:29 of the third period for the 5-2 final.
"I thought the way we played, it was good to get rewarded," Kraken defenseman Adam Larsson said. "There was a lot of emphasis on what happened last game (7-2 loss to the Oilers on Friday in Seattle), and that made us even more hungry today. From top to bottom, every guy played a solid game."
NOTES: Larsson had an assist to extend his point streak to seven games (one goal, six assists), tying Jordan Eberle for the longest in Kraken history. … The Kraken won for the 20th time in 36 games, 28 fewer than it took them last season. … Seattle is 10-4-2 on the road, one win shy of its total from last season. … Draisaitl has not scored in his past seven games. … McDavid has at least a point in 18 of his past 19 games.
