Seattle Kraken vs Boston Bruins Match Player Stats On Feb 01, 2022

David Pastrnak scored power-play goals in the second and third periods as part of a three-point night, lifting the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 win over the visiting Seattle Kraken in Tuesday's first-ever meeting between the teams.

Pastrnak's winning goal at the 10:49 mark of the third period was his team-leading 22nd of the season and 11th on the power play. He remained hot after recording at least one point in 11 of 16 January games.

Taylor Hall added a goal and an assist for Boston. Brad Marchand had two assists, and Linus Ullmark made 25 saves for the win.

The Bruins, who went 2-for-3 on the power play Tuesday, have scored 12 power-play goals in their past 10 games.

Seattle's Joonas Donskoi and Mason Appleton scored third-period goals to tie the game after Boston led 2-0 at the second intermission. Chris Dreidger stopped 23 shots for the expansion Kraken.

After the teams combined for four unsuccessful power plays to start, the Bruins opened the scoring at 9:06 of the second when Pastrnak's one-timer from the circle beat Driedger. Hall recorded his first of two points on a feed from behind the goal line to set up the tally.

The Bruins gained momentum from a five-on-three penalty kill and doubled their lead with 3:51 left in the middle frame. Hall slotted home a second chance in the low slot after taking Tomas Nosek's pass from the corner.

Seattle halved its deficit just 42 seconds into the third as a turnover led to Donskoi's first goal of the season in his 44th game. Donskoi beat Ullmark on a shot through traffic.

Sloppy defensive-zone play burned Boston at the 7:30 mark, resulting in a game-tying goal from Appleton, who deflected in Adam Larsson's point shot.

Bruins defenseman Urho Vaakanainen didn't return after he sustained an upper-body injury on a penalized hit by Yanni Gourde early in the second period.

The win was the second in three games for Boston, which was coming off a 1-1-1 road trip through Colorado, Arizona and Dallas. Seattle has now lost back-to-back contests.

Boston will have a full week off before hosting the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 8 as part of a three-game homestand. Seattle closes a stretch of four straight Eastern Conference road games on Wednesday against the New York Islanders.
