Alex Wennberg and Jordan Eberle scored for Seattle (23-42-6, 52
points), which split its two-game trip after a 4-1 loss the
previous day in St. Louis.
Kevin Lankinen stopped 29 of 31 shots for the Blackhawks
(24-36-11, 59 points), who suffered their sixth consecutive
defeat and haven't won on home ice since March 8 -- a span of
five games (0-3-2).
It was scoreless after the first period despite Seattle
outshooting the Blackhawks 17-3.
The Kraken opened the scoring 47 seconds into the second period.
After a turnover in the neutral zone, Eberle sent a pass toward
Wennberg that went off the stick of a Chicago defenseman and
Ryan Donato's skate. Wennberg picked up the puck in the middle
of the ice at the Blackhawks' blue line, skated around Jake
McCabe and faked a backhander before pulling the puck back to
his forehand and stuffing the puck past Lankinen at the left
post.
It remained 1-0 through the end of the period, thanks to the
Kraken's penalty killers.
Donato was called for interference against Chicago's Taylor
Raddysh at 16:01 of the period. On the ensuing faceoff,
defenseman Carson Soucy's stick came up while battling Raddysh
and cut him in the face, resulting in a double minor for
high-sticking.
Seattle killed off all 1:56 of the five-on-three opportunity and
all but the final five seconds of Soucy's penalty before the
period ended.
Wennberg also made a poke check on Chicago's Kirby Dach to
prevent a short-handed breakaway early in the third.
Eberle clinched the victory, scoring on a wrist shot from the
top of the left faceoff circle at 18:21 of the third.
