The Seattle Kraken will welcome the Colorado Avalanche to Climate Pledge Arena for an NHL game on Saturday. The Seattle Kraken lost 3-2 in their last game over the Avalanche. Justin Schultz and Brandon Tanev scored for a Kraken team that again got off to a flying start after winning 3-1 in Game 1. Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is Saturday in Seattle, where the building will be rocking for the Kraken’s inaugural home postseason game.
“Going to be awesome,” Gourde said. “Super excited.” “We have to manage the game a little bit better, knowing what to do and slow the game down a little bit and go back to our roots, what works for us,” Seattle forward Yanni Gourde explained. “When we do that, we’re a pretty successful group. We don’t have to chase the game. We don’t have to change the way we play. And we just go back to what we do and we should be OK.”
The Colorado Avalanche on the other hand won 3-2 against the Kraken in their last game. The Colorado Avalanche couldn’t find their stride in the first period, skating with more caution than confidence. After intermission, they flipped a switch to swagger mode. They played more like the version that earned a Stanley Cup title last season. Devon Toews scored with 7:01 remaining to complete Colorado’s rally from two goals down as the Avalanche beat the Seattle Kraken 3-2 on Thursday night to even their first-round series at a game apiece.
Trailing 2-0 in the second period, Artturi Lehkonen and Valeri Nichushkin scored 48 seconds apart to tie the game. It set the stage for Toews, who knocked in a rebound for the Avalanche. It was Toews’ first career winning goal in the Stanley Cup playoffs. “When we’re playing like that, I don’t know many teams that can beat us,” defenseman Avalanche Bowen Byram said.
Alexandar Georgiev was tested all night and finished with 27 saves. One of his top stops was in the closing seconds of the second period with Seattle on a 3-on-1 break. A pass was sent over to Jordan Eberle, but a sprawled-out Georgiev prevented the score with his extended right leg.
