SAN JOSE, CA - MARCH 16: Vince Dunn #29 of the Seattle Kraken celebrates scoring the game-winning goal in overtime against the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center on March 16, 2023 in San Jose, California. Oliver Bjorkstrand tied the game with a breakaway in the third period and Vince Dunn beat Sharks goaltender James Reimer for the game-winner in overtime as the Kraken escaped with a critical 2-1 victory.
Neither side could break the deadlock as the game headed to overtime. Seattle survived the opening minute after Alex Wennberg's stick broke on the face-off leaving the Kraken effectively short-handed. Once the Kraken gained possession of the puck, they took over. Bjorkstrand cycled back into the neutral zone to reset before passing ahead to Dunn, who skated in on defenseman Nikolai Knyzhov before snapping a shot between Reimer's legs for the victory.
"It's not pretty but it's a real good play by him," head coach Dave Hakstol said of Dunn. "Being able to pull it, shoot it through a screen in that spot. That's a tough save for their goaltender, who had been really good all night. Hakstol said he liked the way the team played through the first 40 minutes even though they didn't have anything to show for it on the scoreboard.
