But the Kraken were not to be denied a second time, Tanev’s empty-net goal with just over a minute remaining sealing the memorable win on the road.
“I think you saw a little bit of that stress in us in our play in the third period,” said Kraken head coach Dave Hakstol.
“Guys were calm and pretty focused. I know guys were really excited to be able to get the first win, especially as it sinks in. It’s the first win in franchise history, that’s a big deal for everybody.”
