The Seattle Kraken clinched a 4-2 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets, with Jordan Eberle leading the charge by netting two power play goals and providing an assist to Jared McCann. Eberle's first goal came off a deflection from a shot by Oliver Bjorkstrand, and his second goal and assist helped the Kraken establish a strong early lead. McCann's goal marked his third consecutive 20-goal season. Despite a third-period rally from the Blue Jackets, fueled by two goals from Chinakhov and a late empty-net goal attempt, the Kraken secured the win and swept the season series. The Blue Jackets will conclude their five-game road trip in St. Louis on Tuesday.
