- Matty Beniers netted the only shootout goal, and Joey Daccord made 20 saves in regulation and overtime before denying all three Canucks in the tiebreaker.
- Cale Fleury, Chandler Stephenson on the power play, and Ben Meyers scored in regulation, with Seattle’s fourth line contributing key assists.
