SEATTLE — Kraken 2, Flames 1, OT at Climate Pledge Arena

Notable: Seattle (4-2) won its third straight on an overtime goal from Jordan Eberle. The newly named Kraken captain has five goals in six games this season.

The Kraken handed previously 4-0 Calgary its first loss of the season, albeit in overtime.

Chandler Stephenson scored Seattle’s other goal while Joey Daccord made 20 saves. There were many near-misses in regulation. He’d slid halfway out the crease, but Calgary goaltender Dan Vladar’s down-and-out poke check broke up a Kraken 2-on-1 and a sure-thing goal for Kraken winger Oliver Bjorkstrand, who was sliding to his backhand.

Goal of the game: Seattle defenseman Will Borgen offered up a chunk of his lip to secure the Kraken a tying goal, and it didn’t even work. The home team had about 21/2 minutes of power-play time to work with, as Calgary’s Nazem Kadri sat for a high-sticking double minor. The Kraken man advantage failed to convert.

The Flames dropped another, better chance in their laps — 47 seconds of 5-on-3 time. The Kraken held the puck in and applied pressure. Jared McCann tapped it back and forth with Stephenson while Jaden Schwartz screened Vladar. Schwartz went airborne, tucking his knees as the puck sailed by him and into the net. Stephenson’s slap shot turned into his first goal as a member of the Kraken. He signed a seven-year, $43.75 million contract with Seattle the day free agency opened in July.

On tap: The Kraken host former postseason foe Colorado on Tuesday night. It’s Game 3 of a five-game homestand. The 1-4 Avalanche are off to a rocky start.
