Jared McCann added a goal and an assist and
Brandon Tanev added an empty-netter with 13 seconds remaining
for the Kraken, who extended their point streak to three games
(2-0-1) and moved within two points of a wild-card spot in the
Western Conference. Oliver Bjorkstrand had two assists and
goaltender Joey Daccord made 30 saves.
Yegor Chinakhov scored two third-period goals for the Blue
Jackets, who dropped to 1-2-1 on their five-game road trip,
which wraps up Tuesday in St. Louis. Daniil Tarasov stopped 22
of 25 shots.
The Kraken took advantage of the road-weary Blue Jackets, who
lost 5-4 in overtime on Saturday in Vancouver, by tallying three
first-period goals.
For the second consecutive night, Columbus allowed multiple
power-plays goals. It gave up three in the third period on
Saturday as the Canucks rallied from a three-goal deficit.
Eberle opened the scoring on the man advantage at 12:40 of the
first, tipping Bjorkstrand's shot from the top of the right
faceoff circle inside the right post.
McCann made it 2-0 at 16:04 on a three-on-one rush, taking a
pass from Eberle and ripping a shot into the net from the
hashmarks on the inside of the left faceoff circle.
Eberle scored again on the man advantage at 17:58, corralling a
juicy rebound off a shot by McCann and slipping a backhander
between a sprawling Tarasov and the left post.
The Blue Jackets spoiled Daccord's shutout bid at 7:12 of the
third, as Chinakhov's wrist shot from just outside the left
faceoff dot deflected off a defenseman's stick and fluttered
into the net.
Chinakhov made it 3-2 at 15:58 on a blast from the high slot
into the upper left corner of the net.
Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine, who was expected to return on
this trip after missing 17 games with a clavicle injury, instead
entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program, the league
announced earlier Sunday.
