Yanni Gourde gives Kraken win in OT against defending Stanley Cup champs

DENVER — After trailing the defending Stanley Cup champions for most of Sunday’s game, Brandon Tanev tied it at two apiece and Yanni Gourde sealed a 3-2 overtime victory for the Kraken.

Alex Wennberg, who scored the game-winning goal Friday in Columbus, briefly tied the game at 1. Jaden Schwartz went diving after the puck along the boards and took it away from Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram, popping up and sending it to teammate Will Borgen. Borgen uncorked a shot while Wennberg made a beeline for the crease, redirecting the puck in for his second close-range goal in two games.

Tanev and Eeli Tolvanen got loose on breakaways earlier in the second period. Tanev shot wide and Tolvanen’s bid was stopped.
