NEWARK, NJ - The Kraken rallied but couldn't sustain their momentum, falling 3-2 to the Devils in New Jersey on Friday. Andre Burakovsky opened the scoring in the first period with his second goal of the season, assisted by Vince Dunn. Shane Wright added his sixth goal of the season on a power play in the second period.

A frustrated Burakovsky spoke to the media after the game, laying bare what went wrong for the Kraken. Simply put, the Devils were the better team, outshooting Seattle 36-19. New Jersey celebrated two milestones: Jesper Bratt tied the game at 2-2 in his 500th appearance, and Timo Meier scored the game-winning goal, marking his 200th NHL goal.

Seattle wraps up its four-game road trip tomorrow with a Sunday matinee against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. The Kraken are 2-1, with wins over the Hurricanes (4-2) and Islanders (5-2), and a narrow 3-2 loss to the Devils.
