In a closely contested NHL game, the Seattle Kraken managed to tie the game against the Boston Bruins, with key moments including a goal by Jordan Eberle at 4:45 of the 2nd period. The Kraken, after a slow start with just one shot on goal 11:20 into the game and trailing 1-0 after the first period, found their rhythm. Eberle's goal, a result of intercepting a clearance attempt by Bruins' goaltender Linus Ullmark, brought the score to 1-1. Despite Boston's initial lead and Ullmark's efforts, who is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, to preserve the 1-0 lead, the Kraken's persistence paid off. The game saw moments of sustained pressure from the Kraken, highlighted by a four-shot flurry late in the first period after nearly 13 min of play. The match was tied at 2-2 after Dunn scored the equalizer, with Andre Burakovsky playing a crucial role in creating the opportunity.
2-2 Dunn with the equalizer but Burakovsky is so critical here - this comes right after a shift where he dangled right in front of Ullmark...BOS knows they have to defend him - he draws two and Dunn has plenty of space to send in the shot that gets in net. #SeaKraken https://t.co/exF4UYDOH0
Linus Ullmark throws a puck right into Jordan Eberle crashing down from the slot, who pops it into the open net on the gift from the Bruins goaltender. It's a 1-1 game
Just over a year after he scores a goal for the #NHLBruins, Linus Ullmark indirectly scores one for the #SeaKraken. @BOSHockeyNow https://t.co/zFLVzep5WG
Kraken tie the game in hilarious fashion. Linus Ullmark clears it right into Jordan Eberle, who tucks it home. https://t.co/rJ7ZwuQI4C
Jordan Eberle talked about the #SEAKraken needing more urgency and he’s certainly shown some the past few weeks. Intercepts a Linus Ullmark clearance attempt and puts PP goal into empty net to tie it 1-1 at 4:45 of the 2nd. Kraken needed that break in a bad way. #NHL https://t.co/7yJipNz6gd
#SeaKraken trail 1-0 after one Home team took a bit to get some sustained attack going. Will need to generate more and challenge Ullmark from dangerous areas going forward. https://t.co/W6zwgIxouo
Kraken finished 1st period much better than they began it, but trail 1-0 at intermission. Came out too tentatively and took nearly 13 min to get any sustained pressure, but they poured it on late. Need to find higher gear. Right now, playing just well enough to lose. #SEAKraken https://t.co/ZolodSOtKT
A Boston turnover leads to the first sustained #SEAKraken pressure of the game, resulting in a four-shot flurry with just more than 6 min to go in 1st. But Linus Ullmark showing why he’s reigning Vezina Trophy winner, holding firm to preserve 1-0 lead. #NHL https://t.co/CrYYLq3VA5
We’re 11:20 into this game and the #SEAKraken have just one shot on goal. Boston still up 1-0. #NHL https://t.co/lfPNigJlfg
