Arturri Lehkonen scored the go-ahead goal on a power play in his season debut and Nathan MacKinnon had five assists as the Colorado Avalanche beat the Seattle Kraken 6-3 on Tuesday night.
“As I go through these moments, I don’t take it lightly, the path that I’m on and charting,” said Seattle Kraken assistant Jessica Campbell, the first female coach in the NHL.
"Guys recognized really early on," Seattle Kraken coach Dan Bylsma said, "that when we when we play together, when we play connected, when we play as five-man units, we can be a dangerous team."
Joel Kiviranta and Nathan MacKinnon each scored in the second period to put Colorado ahead, and the Avalanche held on to beat the Seattle Kraken 3-2 on Tuesday.
Oliver Bjorkstrand, Jaden Schwartz, Jared McCann and Adam Larsson each had a goal and an assist to lead Seattle Kraken to a 7-3 victory over the Nashville Predators.
The Seattle Kraken selected Jordan Eberle as their captain Tuesday moments before their season opener, filling the last void at that spot among the NHL’s 32 teams.
