Luke Kunin, Cody Ceci and Will Smith scored in the opening 10 minutes of the second period and the visiting San Jose Sharks held on for a 4-2 win against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday night.
Mario Ferraro also scored, Jake Walman and Mikael Granlund each had two assists and Mackenzie Blackwood made 36 saves for the Sharks, who also beat the Kraken 8-5 on Friday in San Jose.
Jaden Schwartz and Jared McCann scored and Joey Daccord made 19 saves for the Kraken, who have lost three in a row by a combined score of 17-9.
Ferraro gave the Sharks a 1-0 lead at 16:54 of the first period when he received a pass from Granlund as he activated from the blue line. Ferraro had room to skate into the left circle before banking a shot into the net.
Kunin made it 2-0 at 1:51 with a wrist shot from the top of the right circle off the rush.
Ceci made it 3-0 with his first goal of the season and his first on the road in the past 128 games.
Macklin Celebrini took a shot that went wide and off the end boards before coming out the other side to Ceci, who swept it into the net from a sharp angle at 8:59.
Smith finished off an odd-man rush 46 seconds later to stretch the lead to 4-0.
The Kraken took advantage of a favorable bounce off the end boards to break the shutout at 10:17 of the second period. Matty Beniers took a shot that went wide and caromed toward Blackwood, who poked the puck in the direction of Schwartz and he fired it into the net to cut it to 4-1.
McCann scored his team-leading 10th goal of the season with a wrist shot from the left circle to narrow the lead to 4-2 at 6:27 of the third.
The Kraken pulled Daccord for the extra attacker with just over three minutes left and appeared to capitalize when Beniers scored with seven seconds left, but the NHL initiated a review for goalie interference and the goal was disallowed upon review.
