Kulak's First Goal Sparks Penguins Victory
20 Jan
Summary
- Brett Kulak scored his first goal of the season to break the tie.
- Connor Dewar contributed a short-handed goal and an empty-netter.
- Seattle has lost four straight games and six of their last seven.
Brett Kulak's first goal of the season, a powerful one-timer, broke a second-period tie and propelled the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 6-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Monday. The Penguins showcased depth with contributions from several less frequent offensive players.
Forward Connor Dewar was instrumental, scoring a short-handed goal in the first period and sealing the win with an empty-netter late in the game. Defenseman Parker Witherspoon opened the scoring for Pittsburgh with his third goal of the season. The Kraken, despite rallying to tie the game twice, couldn't overcome the Penguins' offensive pressure.
Seattle's struggles continued as they suffered their fourth consecutive loss and sixth in the last seven games. Eeli Tolvanen scored for the Kraken, but it wasn't enough to prevent their decline. The Penguins, meanwhile, secured their second win in three games, showing resilience after a recent skid.
