Eeli Tolvanen recorded his eighth goal in 15 games with Seattle, Alex Wennberg scored in his 600th career NHL game, and the Kraken beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1 on Saturday night to grab the solo lead in the Pacific Division. FOX13
Tolvanen scored for the third straight game and his third period tally provided needed insurance for the Kraken in the victory. Tolvanen picked up a deflected puck off the stick of Oliver Bjorkstrand and fired just under the glove of Columbus goaltender Elvis Merzlikins to seal away with the victory.Tolvanen was picked up off waivers from the Nashville Predators in early December.
"We weren't happy about last night," Tolvanen said of the 5-2 loss to Calgary Flames. "It was the off day for everybody. And, you know, we had a focus that it's the last game before the break and we have to finish the right way and that's what we did." Wennberg picked up his 10th goal of the year for Seattle against a Columbus team that drafted him in the first round of the 2013 NHL Draft. Wennberg played in 415 career games for the Blue Jackets from 2014 to 2020.
"I've had chances," Geekie said. "It's not really something I worry about. That's not really my role here. You know, lots of guys score goals. And I know it's not something I'm looked upon to do but, you know, mentally It was nice to see it go in for sure." With Tanev in the penalty box for slashing, Merzlikins made a great save on Jared McCann off a two-on-one short-handed breakaway chance and Grubauer answered at the other end with a big glove save on Johnny Gaudreau as well.
"His performance tonight is a little bit undercover," Hakstol said.. "If you look at that second period and the quality opportunities that Columbus had in the second period, that was the key point for me for our goaltender. He did a great job during the second period, as much time as we spent in our zone in the third we really didn't give up that much. We had to make a couple of saves that were really important.
