In a tightly contested NHL game, the Seattle Kraken held a 2-1 lead over the Los Angeles Kings. Jordan Eberle increased the Kraken's lead to 2-0 with a goal on a breakaway, assisted by a stretch pass from Beniers at 6:27 of the third period. The Kings' offensive efforts, including a late 2-on-1 chance by Laferriere and Roy that hit the crossbar and a barrage of 20 shots, were largely thwarted by Kraken's goaltender Joey Daccord, who stopped 40 shots. The Kings managed to score when Blake Lizotte seized on a Kraken turnover and scored a short-handed goal into an empty net, making it a 2-1 game.
Ugh. What a way for Daccord to give up his first goal after stopping 40 shots. Comes way out of net to play a puck over to his defenders, Justin Schultz had it bounce off his stick and Blake Lizotte puts it in empty net for SH goal. #SEAKraken still up 2-1 8 min into 3rd. #NHL https://t.co/buvFnQKzTV

Lizotte finds the puck on his stick in the slot after a truly awful turnover by the Kraken, 2-1 SEA. Big shorty.
LAK Goal - Life! Turnover deep in the Seattle zone deflects right to Blake Lizotte, who slots into the empty net to get the Kings on the board. 2-1.

Eberle beats Talbot on a breakaway, 2-0 SEA.
Great execution by Laferriere and Roy on a late 2-on-1, but 3 rings the crossbar. Kings flood the Seattle net with 20 shots, unable to solve Joey Daccord thus far.
