Overview
- Anaheim built a 4-0 cushion and closed out a 4-2 win, moving two points ahead of Seattle for third place with the Kraken holding a game in hand.
- Cutter Gauthier netted his 25th and Jacob Trouba, Alex Killorn, and Ross Johnston also scored, while Lukáš Dostál made 26 saves.
- Jordan Eberle redirected a Jared McCann shot for his team‑leading 20th and Shane Wright added a late goal, spoiling a shutout bid but not the outcome.
- The defeat ends Seattle’s four‑game streak fueled by McCann’s strong return, as a leaky penalty kill has recently allowed power‑play goals in seven straight games, per local analysis.
- Anaheim heads into the 20‑day Olympic break with multiple players bound for Milan, and Seattle visits the Kings on Wednesday before beginning its own pause.
