Tanev scored twice and Oliver Bjorkstrand scored a goal for the Kraken (6-8-1) in his return to the lineup after making a healthy scratch in a 6-3 loss at the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. Seattle had lost seven of its past eight and had never beaten the Golden Knights at Climate Pledge Arena. Joey Daccord made 21 saves.

“It was good. I would have been ready in Colorado, but I thought I was ready tonight,” Bjorkstrand said. “I kept it somewhat simple. I feel like I played well with the puck and was able to create some opportunities. So I think the key now is to build on that.

Jack Eichel had three assists, Nicolas Roy had a goal and an assist and Pavel Dorofeyev and Alex Pietrangelo each had a goal for the Golden Knights (9-4-1), who had won their previous three. Hill made 28 saves.

“Pretty good performance overall, but I think we put ourselves in bad situations a lot tonight,” Roy said. “’Hillsy’ played a really good game, and if (Hill) hadn’t been there, I think it would definitely have been a different score.”

Dorofeyev made it 1-0 on a 5-on-3 power play at 10:13 of the first period, receiving a cross-crease pass from Roy at the bottom of the right circle and passing it past Daccord in one shot.

“Just like hockey games, the game spins a little bit,” Bylsma said. “They played 3-on-5 for the full two minutes and scored.”

Roy pushed the score to 2-0 at 13:31 of the first, taking a feed from Ivan Barbashev at the left post and sending it into the open net.

Tanev cut the score to 2-1 at 17:21 of the first, intercepting Brayden McNabb’s pass at the Seattle blue line to set up a breakaway. Tanev fired a wrist shot that beat Hill’s high blocker.

“I think we went off track there for a few minutes in the second period,” Bylsma said. “And I thought it was a huge, huge goal from ‘Turbo’, not only for himself but for the team to get that goal from him to make it 2-1 and really get us back into the game. “
