It will forever be memorable for the Kraken. First overtime playoff game. First overtime playoff win. And an unexpectedly tied series headed back to Denver.
For the second time in the series, Seattle was unable to make a 2-0 first-period lead stand.
Rantanen scored his first on a three-on-two rush that was set up by Nathan MacKinnon. His second came in the dying seconds of Colorado’s first power play of the game, snapping a shot through a screen and past Grubauer with 2 seconds remaining on the man-advantage. It was Colorado’s first power-play goal in 15 chances against Seattle, regular and postseason combined.McCann was hurt on a short-handed attempt midway through the first period.
McCann was down on the ice for several minutes before being helped to the bench and headed straight back to the Seattle locker room.Makar said it was “unfortunate,” and hoped McCann was OK. “It was a hockey play. I’m assuming he was going to the corner because it was coming down. I didn’t really look. Just unfortunate how that happened,” Makar said.Seattle became the second team in playoff history to score first in each of its first four games.
