Kraken Tie Before Period Ends

Although his initial shot was blocked by goalie Yaroslav Askarov, Shane Wright grabbed the rebound and passed it to Ryan Lindgren at the blue line. Lindgren returned the puck to Winterton, whose shot found the corner of the net, marking his first NHL goal and leveling the score.
Sharks Retake the Lead
Two minutes later, Jeff Skinner intercepted the puck in the neutral zone and advanced it with Alexander Wennberg. Skinner passed to Wennberg, who then set up Ethan Cardwell. Cardwell’s shot slipped past Joey Daccord, putting San Jose back in front.
