- Seattle's Oliver Bjorkstrand, Eeli Tolvanen, and Matty Beniers each added goals, while Joey Daccord made 28 saves to help the Kraken improve to 3-1-0 on their homestand.
- Pittsburgh suffered a further setback as forward Evgeni Malkin exited the game in the first period with a lower-body injury and did not return.
