SEATTLE — Alex Wennberg scored the winner in his 600th career NHL game, Morgan Geekie and Eeli Tolvanen scored on either side of it and the Kraken finished out play before the All-Star break by moving into first place in the Pacific Division.
The Kraken turned in an imperfect effort but still held back the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1 on Saturday night at Climate Pledge Arena.
After Tolvanen made it 3-1, Columbus crowded Philipp Grubauer (24 saves) and outshot Seattle 9-3 through the first 13 minutes in their best stretch of the game. But they got no closer.
