Alex Iafallo opened the scoring in the first period, scoring his second goal in as many games. He hit the net hard, Adam Lowry shot a puck into the blue paint and Iafallo knocked it to the ground, a perfect example of why you crash the crease.
The chemistry levels are off the chart 📈🤩
Seattle responded with Kaapo Kakko’s first goal of the season. Jaden Schwartz put the puck on net and Kakko executed a smooth deflection that beat Connor Hellebuyck.
I heard y’all wanted a goal… cape-y that 🫡
Early in the second, Mark Scheifele went completely unchecked, only breaking in on a breakaway and making no mistake in beating Philipp Grubauer to restore Winnipeg’s lead.
THE EASTER 🤌 THE SHOT 🤌 It’s all so BEAUTIFUL 😍
Vince Dunn tied the game at 2-2 soon after, but Kyle Connor answered late in the frame with a power-play goal, his first on the man advantage since Dec. 23, 2024, in Toronto, putting the Jets up 3-2 heading into the third.
“I’m just going to sneak that one past you!” – thinner, probs
KYLE CONNOR at the POWERPLAY 😏
However, the last period was all about Seattle. Eeli Tolvanen scored a one-timer on the power play to make it 3-3 in less than five minutes. Then Jordan Eberle buried his sixth of the season after Matty Beniers found him wide open backdoor to give the Kraken their first lead of the night.
WHAT A SNIPE FROM EE-LI 🔥
no CAPtion needed 🙂↕️
Eberle capped the scoring with an empty-netter for his second of the game, securing Seattle’s 5-3 win.
It was an ugly night defensively for Winnipeg. Dylan DeMelo struggled, finding himself out of position far too often, and Hellebuyck wasn’t sharp either, knocking aside just 13 of 17 shots for a rough save percentage of .765.
