Brandon Tanev scored for Seattle and Joey
Daccord stopped 26 of 31 shots.
Rantanen tied the score at 12:05 of the second following an
Avalanche faceoff win in the offensive end. Daccord blocked
Toews' shot from the left point, then MacKinnon's rebound
attempt went off the outside of the left post. Rantanen snuck
between Daccord and the post, drew the puck back in front of the
goal line and slid it into the net.
Colorado took the lead just over two minutes later, as Colton
tallied on the power play at 14:12. Daccord fended off Toews'
shot from the blue line, but Colton was alone out front to sweep
the rebound past the goalie before he could recover.
The Avalanche dominated the third period, scoring three times
while outshooting Seattle 12-1.
Makar made it 3-1 at 4:14 of the third with a wrist shot from
the slot.
Drouin scored his first goal of the season on a wrist shot at
9:09 on a two-on-one rush.
Nichushkin capped the scoring at 16:43 on the power play,
redirecting Makar's point shot.
Tanev, who had been out since suffering a lower-body injury on
Opening Night at Vegas, made an immediate impact in the opening
period by ringing a shot off the left post for a 1-0 lead.
He opened the scoring at 6:13, backhanding a rebound into the
net after Georgiev stopped Vince Dunn's shot from the left
point.
Tanev appeared to add an assist later in the period on a
short-handed, two-on-one rush with Alex Wennberg. Tanev fed
Wennberg, who twice batted the puck off Georgiev's right leg pad
before lifting a third attempt over the prone goaltender.
Bednar challenged the play for goaltender interference and a
video review determined Tanev's skate came in contact with
Georgiev's left leg pad in the crease and slightly knocked the
goalie off-balance, negating the goal that would've given the
Kraken a 2-0 lead.
