![]() ![]() This second period has taken quite a turn for the Caps, and not in a good way.ħ. Yanni Gourde made an excellent cross-ice pass to Larsson in the slot, and Larsson fired a laser up and over Vanecek. 43 seconds later, Adam Larsson made it 3-1. The puck eventually ricocheted off not one but two players’ skates right to Schwartz’s stick, and he had a wide open chunk of net to shoot at because the play had drawn Vanecek forward a bit.Ħ. Seattle set up their play like an expanded power play after Grubauer left the net, and it worked very well for them. Jaden Schwartz gave the Kraken their first lead of the game on a delayed penalty call with 13:43 left in the second.
