Joey Daccord had 27 saves for the Kraken.
“Another typical game tonight — a tight one-goal game, a 2-1 game that goes into overtime. We’ve been involved in a lot of those,” Seattle coach Dave Hakstol said. “We’ve talked a lot about being comfortable in those situations. Tonight, we probably didn’t do it exactly the way we wanted. We made a mistake on the power play and had to chase the game against a really good defensive team. But we stayed with it. We didn’t try to do anything crazy. We just stayed on it.”
Philadelphia’s road points streak reached nine games (6-0-3). This is the second game of a four-game Western swing that started with a 4-1 win at Pacific Division co-leader Vancouver on Thursday.
“This is a hard trip coming off a break and getting on a plane for five hours and playing two in a row,” said Philadelphia’s John Tortorella, who coached his 1,500th NHL game — the eighth coach all-time and the first U.S.-born coach to do so. “The guys handled themselves well. There wasn’t much going on for a lot of the game. They ended up generating a little bit more as the game went on. It’s just grind away and find a way to get a point.”
