The Kraken had just four shots on goal in the second.
“The first two periods, mainly the second period, we didn't generate anything offensively,” Seattle coach Dave Hakstol said. “We didn't come up with enough pucks in the offensive zone, so we were one and done and didn't have any opportunities in there."
Bjorkstrand tied it 1-1 with a power-play goal at 3:32 of the third, receiving a pass from Yanni Gourde in the high slot and scoring with a wrist shot over Lindgren’s glove.
“We just made two mistakes,” Hakstol said. “I’m not going to sugarcoat it, I’m not going to make more of it than it is. We made two mistakes, and on a night like tonight, those are two mistakes, obviously, that we don’t want to make.”
Washington coach Spencer Carbery said: “I’m really proud of the entire group. This was as difficult of circumstances as you’ll find in this league from a back-to-back standpoint, getting in at two in the morning, the travel, crossing the border, all that stuff after a late game in Edmonton last night.
“For us to play the game we did in Seattle’s building, against a good hockey team that was rested, that was just full commitment. It was every single guy doing the exact things we talk about.”
NOTES: Oshie is one goal of becoming the fifth active U.S.-born player with at least 100 power-play goals. Joe Pavelski (175), Patrick Kane (126), Zach Parise (125) and Chris Kreider (105) are the others. … Oshie is also one game shy of 1,000 in the NHL. Washington’s next game is Saturday at the Vancouver Canucks. … A ceremony was held before the game honoring Kraken forward Jordan Eberle, who played in his 1,000th game on Tuesday, a 5-4 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.
