Three goals in the second half help the Sharks defeat Kraken again

Luke Kunin, Cody Ceci and Will Smith scored in the first 10 minutes of the second period and the visiting San Jose Sharks cruised to a 4-2 win over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday night.

Mario Ferraro also scored a goal, Jake Walman and Mikael Granlund each had two assists and Mackenzie Blackwood made 36 saves for the Sharks, who also beat the Kraken 8-5 in San Jose on Friday.

Jaden Schwartz and Jared McCann scored and Joey Daccord made 19 saves for the Kraken, who have lost three straight by a combined score of 17-9.

Ferraro gave the Sharks a 1-0 lead at 16:54 of the first period when he received a pass from Granlund as he activated from the blue line. Ferraro had space to slide into the left circle before firing a shot into the net.

Kunin made it 2-0 at 1:51 with a wrist shot from the top of the right circle after the rush.

Ceci made the final score 3-0 with his first goal of the season and his first away goal in the last 128 games.

Macklin Celebrini fired a shot that went wide of the goal and over the boards before finding its way to Ceci on the other side, who fired it into the net from a tight angle at 8:59.

Smith finished off an odd-man rush 46 seconds later to extend the lead to 4-0.

The Kraken took advantage of a favorable rebound off the end boards to break the shutout at 10:17 of the second period. Matty Beniers shot past the goal and raced toward Blackwood, who shot the puck toward Schwartz and fired it into the net, making it 4-1.

McCann scored his 10th goal of the season with a wrist shot from the left circle to cut the lead to 4-2 at 6:27 of the third period.

With just over three minutes left, the Kraken brought in Daccord for the extra attacker and appeared to capitalize when Beniers scored with seven seconds left. But the NHL initiated a review for goalie interference and the goal was disallowed after the review.
