That’s not going to be a happy flight home to Boston.
How would the Bruins finish off this rough road trip? Snacking on sushi or sleeping with the fishes?
First Period
The Bruins strike first! Kevin Shattenkirk sends David Pastrnak in all alone, who uses his new patented move to toss it past Philipp Grubauer, 1-0 Boston!
Second Period
On the PK, Linus Ullmark tries to make a clear and swats a gift right into Jordan Eberle, easy money. 1-1.
Boston would head into the room with the lead though, with Pavel Zacha feeding Pasta crashing into the slot, it’s a 2-1 lead!
Third Period
Did the Bruins show up to start the third period? Not really! Vince Dunn would capitalize on that, giving the Kraken a 3-2 lead.
Morgan Geekie seemingly gave the Bruins a lead, but a successful Kraken challenge for goaltender interference wiped this off the board.

And the Kraken certainly took advantage of the momentum swing. Will Borgen hammers one that deflects off of Oliver Bjorkstrand to tickle the twine. 3-2, Seattle.
We though this was David Pastrnak’s goal, but Charlie Coyle deflects this big power play goal in, and the game levels back up, 3-3!
Overtime
Ah damn, here we go again. Both teams had great chances in the extra frame, none much better for the Bruins than Jake DeBrusk having a breakaway through virtually two zones. No dice. A shootout is required.

Game Notes
- With his first period goal, David Pastrnak notched his 700th career point, the 10th player in Bruins history to reach that milestone. Congratulations to our al dente lord and savior!
- Jesper Boqvist has six points in six games with his secondary assist on the aforementioned goal.
- The Bruins blow yet another third period lead. They’re now 25-1-8 when leading after two periods this season. With the trade deadline coming up, you wonder what has to change.
- The team finally returns to TD Garden to take on the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday evening, 7pm puck drop.
