SEATTLE — Jordan Eberle did half the damage as the Seattle Kraken turned in a second straight convincing win at Climate Pledge Arena, 4-2 against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.
An Eberle ballet opened the scoring. Kraken defenseman Carson Soucy fished the puck out of a problem area next to goaltender Philipp Grubauer (22 saves). He sent it to Eberle, who took it across center ice, danced around a defender and put a shot on net that squeezed through the pads of Detroit goaltender Ville Husso to make it 1-0.
The Red Wings tied the game 16 seconds before the first-period break. Jake Walman’s shot hit a body on the way through and popped up. As soon as it landed, Pius Suter swung his stick like a golf club and scored Detroit’s only goal of the first 57 minutes.
