Canucks Edge Kraken in Shootout After Another Late Comeback

Vancouver secures a 4-3 shootout win in Seattle, just days after blowing a late lead to their Pacific Division rival.

J.T. Miller scored the decisive shootout goal, giving the Canucks a much-needed win over the Kraken after a recent overtime collapse against the same team.
Vince Dunn and Matty Beniers led the Kraken's late comeback, erasing a 3-1 deficit in the third period before Vancouver prevailed in the shootout.
Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko left the game with back spasms in the second period, with Kevin Lankinen stepping in to make 13 saves and secure the victory.
The Kraken's Chandler Stephenson opened the scoring early, but Vancouver responded with goals from Connor Garland, Tyler Myers, and Max Sasson during regulation.
Both teams remain in the hunt for Pacific Division playoff spots, with the Canucks hosting Nashville next and the Kraken facing Edmonton on Saturday.
