The Seattle Kraken had a thrilling victory on the road in the first game of the second-round playoff series against the Dallas Stars Tuesday night.
They now lead the series 1-0 after some unbelievable swings in momentum.
Joe Pavelski, who scored all four of the Stars’ goals, gave Dallas a 1-0 lead early until Jaden Schwartz tied it about 10 minutes later.

Not to be outdone, Vince Dunn helped Jordan Eberle tip one in for four Kraken goals in less than four minutes – or three goals in a 68-second span, according to the Associated Press.
With Seattle leading at 4-2, there was a long lull in the action until Pavelski, who already had two goals, picked up a hat trick in the third period that made it 4-3, and the momentum went back to Dallas.In the final period, both teams had many chances, but in the end, Seattle’s Yanni Gourde — a two-time cup winner — got the puck into the net for the win at 12:17 into overtime, ESPN reported.
