Tye Kartye tipped in a slap shot by Oliver Bjorkstrand for the tiebreaking goal with 2:40 remaining, and the Seattle Kraken held on to beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Thursday night to wrap up the regular season for two teams that missed the playoffs. Brock Faber answered Yanni Gourde's empty-netter with 1:46 left by scoring for the Wild on a 6-on-4 power play with 1:05 left and goalie Marc-Andre Fleury pulled, but Kraken goalie Joey Daccord — who had 21 saves — and the defense held up.
PUCK MANAGEMENT IN SECOND PERIOD Winnipeg got themselves into trouble in the second period with a 3-1 lead by not taking care of the puck. Before Yanni Gourde made it 3-2 at 5:11, the Jets didn't get the puck in deep. Then at 18:13 of the middle frame, a turnover inside the Jets blueline led to a 2-on-oh for Seattle with Gourde passing over to Tye Kartye who tied the game at three. TURNED IT AROUND IN THIRD To their credit, the Jets got their game back in the third period. They didn't give Seattle a whole lot surrendering only one high danger scoring opportunity in the final frame. Winnipeg's second power play unit then went to work with Jared McCann in the box, Nikolaj Ehlers spotted Toffoli
Kyle Connor scored twice as the Winnipeg Jets won their seventh game in a row, defeating the visiting Seattle Kraken 4-3 on Tuesday. The victory guaranteed the Jets (51-24-6, 108 points) home-ice advantage in their first-round Western Conference playoff series against the Colorado Avalanche (49-25-7, 105 points). Jets forwards Tyler Toffoli and Nikolaj Ehlers both had a goal and an assist, while Mark Scheifele, Josh Morrissey and Neal Pionk each had two assists.
