SEATTLE – For the second time in their two games this season, the Blues jumped out a two-goal lead only to squander the advantage in the second period.
They survived Saturday’s season opener, scoring three times in the third period for a 5-2 victory. This time, the upstart Seattle Kraken, playing their fifth game in eight days, took it to the Blues for most of the third period after tying the game at 3-all with a pair of second-period goals. The Blues were outshot 12-6 in third period, but were able to force overtime Wednesday at Climate Pledge Arena.
But Justin Faulk with his second goal of the night, bailed out the Blues in overtime for a 4-3 victory. The Blues improved to 2-0-0 on the season and head to Edmonton next for a Saturday game.
