Boris Katchouk, Jason Dickinson and MacKenzie
Entwistle also scored for the Blackhawks, who had lost six of
their previous seven games. Joey Anderson added two assists and
goaltender Petr Mrazek made 33 saves.
Matty Beniers had a goal and an assist and Alex Wennberg and Tye
Kartye also tallied for Seattle, which took its second
consecutive defeat. Philipp Grubauer stopped 19 of 23 shots in
the opener of the Kraken's four-game trip.
With the score tied at 2-2 early in the second period, Johnson
took a cross-ice pass from Taylor Raddysh at the right faceoff
dot and lifted a shot over Grubauer's shoulder and into the near
upper corner of the net at 4:22. It was the third goal in five
career games against the Kraken for Johnson, a native of
Spokane, Wash.
The Blackhawks made it 4-2 at 10:43 of the second. Anderson
wrapped around the back of the net and fired a pass across the
crease to Entwistle down low on the left wing. Entwistle knocked
the puck into the open side of the net.
Kartye scored for the Kraken on the rush at 6:51 of the third,
beating Mrazek with a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle,
but Seattle was unable to get the equalizer.
The score was 2-2 after a first period in which the Blackhawks
built a two-goal lead before the Kraken rallied.
Katchouk opened the scoring at 8:54, pouncing on a rebound after
Ryan Donato tipped Seth Jones' shot from the left point.
Dickinson made it 2-0 at 10:23, getting a slap shot from the
high slot past a screened Grubauer.
Beniers got the Kraken on the board at 14:43 following a Chicago
turnover. Jared McCann left a drop pass for Beniers, whose
initial shot went off a skate of a defenseman before he beat
Mrazek low to the far post on a second attempt.
Wennberg tied the score on a short-handed, two-on-one rush with
36.4 seconds left in the period after a stretch pass from Adam
Larsson. Wennberg carried the puck over the blue line along the
right-wing boards and cut across the slot before he skated
around Mrazek and slipped the puck into a vacated net.
