TORONTO (AP) — Josh Mahura scored his first goal of the season at 3:06 of overtime to give the Seattle Kraken a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
Mahura beat Anthony Stolarz with a high shot, helping Seattle snap a two-game overtime losing streak on the opening night of their six-game road trip, which began with consecutive extra-time losses in Montreal and Ottawa.
Shane Wright contributed with a goal and an assist for the Kraken, while Jani Nyman and Vince Dunn also found the back of the net. Joey Daccord made 26 saves to secure the win, and Mason Marchment added two assists.
For the Maple Leafs, John Tavares scored twice, reaching a milestone of 500 points with Toronto. Morgan Rielly also scored, and goaltender Anthony Stolarz stopped 24 shots. Tavares’s second goal tied the game at 3-3 on a power play early in the third period.
The Kraken arrived at Scotiabank Arena wearing Mariners jerseys, showing support for Seattle’s baseball team. The Mariners currently lead the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 in the American League Championship Series and have the chance to reach the franchise’s first World Series with a win in Sunday’s game in Toronto.
