However, the tide began to turn in the second period when Ryker Evans cut the deficit in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kraken completely stole the show in the third period, erupting for six unanswered goals. Andre Burakovsky tied the game with a second-period rebound goal, followed by Oliver Bjorkstrand&#8217;s go-ahead tally early in the third. Kakko then took over, scoring twice within a minute to put Seattle firmly in control. Brandon Tanev added the empty-netter to seal the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This win provides a much-needed confidence boost for the Kraken as they look to climb the standings. Daccord&#8217;s performance in net was crucial, and the team received a balanced offensive attack that proved too much for the Sabres to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0By Vitalina Andrushchenko, Staff Writer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Seattle Kraken overcame a two-goal deficit to defeat the Buffalo Sabres 6-2 on Saturday night, snapping their four-game losing streak.
