Kraken jump on Canucks early, net 3-1 pre-season win

SEATTLE — The Seattle Kraken scored the first three goals of the game then hung on to defeat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Friday in NHL pre-season action at Climate Pledge Arena.

Eeli Tolvanen, Brandon Montour and Ryan Winterton, who also had an assist, scored for the Kraken, who dropped a 3-1 decision to the Canucks on Tuesday in Vancouver.

Defenceman Tyler Myers scored for the Canucks to reduce the deficit to 3-1 but that’s all the offence the visitors could muster on this night.

The Kraken led 2-0 after the first period and 3-1 heading into the third. The Canucks had four of the game’s seven minor penalties.
