Kraken Rock The Hurricanes In Thrilling 4-2 Victory In Carolina.

Raleigh, NC - The Seattle Kraken kicked off their four-game road trip with a new mentality, dominating the Hurricanes 4-2 in Carolina on Tuesday. After a three-game losing streak, players and coaches had been vocal about the team's recent lack of urgency and consistency.

Jaden Schwartz wasted no time, firing the Kraken's first goal just 19 seconds into the game with a wicked snap shot past Canes' goalie Pyotr Kochetkov. Yanni Gourde and Matty Beniers earned assists on the play. But at 4:56, Eric Robertson answered back, tying the game with a wrist shot past Joey Daccord.

Martin Necas tied it up at 2-2 on a power play after Joshua Mahura was called for delay of game. But from there, it was all Kraken. Seattle ramped up the pressure and urgency, scoring twice to seize a 4-2 lead. Yanni Gourde netted his fourth goal of the season and second point of the night at 10:48, with assists from Matty Beniers and Jaden Schwartz.

Frustrated, Carolina pulled Kochetkov for the extra man, but Seattle's defense held strong to secure the 4-2 win. Carolina's 16 shots on goal were their lowest of the season.

Key Moments: HC Dan Bylsma challenged the Canes' third-period goal, which would have given them a 3-2 lead. The call was overturned, and 40 seconds later, the Kraken scored to take a 3-2 lead.

Matty Beniers dominated in face-offs and shined on his new line with Jaden Schwartz and Yanni Gourde.
