Vince Dunn scored a power-play goal at 1:21 of overtime as the Seattle Kraken snapped a six-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory against the visiting Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night.
Jared McCann and Matty Beniers also tallied for Seattle and goaltender Joey Daccord made 24 saves.
Alex Laferriere and Kevin Fiala scored for the Kings, who had a two-game winning streak snapped, and goalie Anton Forsberg stopped 30 of 33 shots.
The Kraken forced overtime on Beniers' goal with a man advantage with 24.8 seconds left in regulation. Beniers redirected a pass from Eeli Tolvanen over Forsberg's shoulder after the goalie was assessed a penalty for tripping McCann, who was injured on the play, at 19:21.
Seattle got another power play in overtime as Adrian Kempe was called for tripping at 1:05 and Dunn converted a slap shot from the top of the right faceoff circle off a Tolvanen pass.
The Kings broke a 1-all tie on Fiala's power-play goal at 14:40 of the third. Kempe sent a stretch pass to Anze Kopitar at the offensive blue line and he fed Fiala behind the defense for a mini-breakaway. It was Fiala's team-leading 11th goal of the season.
The Kraken opened the scoring with the man advantage at 3:21 of the second. Los Angeles' Quinton Byfield broke his stick while killing the penalty and headed to the bench for a change, in effect giving Seattle a two-man edge. Dunn fed McCann for a blistering one-timer from the high slot that beat Forsberg high to the blocker side.
The Kraken had hopes of extending the lead when Los Angeles' Warren Foegele was called for tripping a little more than three minutes later, but they turned over the puck just inside the offensive blue line. The Kings' Joel Armia chipped it ahead to send Laferriere in on a short-handed breakaway from center ice. Laferriere lifted a backhander over Daccord's blocker and into the upper left corner of the net at 8:16 to even the score at 1-1.
The Kraken placed rookie forward Berkly Catton, their first-round pick in the 2024 draft, on injured reserve earlier in the day. Catton blocked a shot with his right hand late in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Detroit.
