Nicolas Roy and Phil Kessel scored, and Shea Theodore had two assists for Vegas (16-5-1), which had its four-game point streak end. Adin Hill made 24 saves.
"They were quicker than us. They won a lot more races, one-on-one battles. They executed better than us. They were just the better team," Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said. "Let's call it what it is, from start to finish, they outplayed us. We can look at different areas and why and what, but we weren't ready to play, (and) that always falls on the coach. I got to get the guys ready to play. We didn't come out of the gate ready to play."
Ryan Donato gave the Kraken a 1-0 lead at 2:38 of the first period, scoring on a rebound off Larsson's one-timer from the point.
"Lately, we get rewarded when we get pucks on net. That was a prime example," Larsson said. "It was close your eyes and shoot it. It landed pretty much on his stick. It was nice."
Burakovsky made it 2-0 at 8:00 when he beat Hill five-hole with a wrist shot from the top of the right circle.
Roy cut it to 2-1 at 10:46, jamming in a rebound in front on a power play. He had missed the previous three games with a lower-body injury.
"He's been good for us all year. He certainly doesn't lack confidence," Cassidy said. "It was more about getting him into the flow of the game. It was a good goal for us."
