SEATTLE — Cutter Gauthier and Pavel Mintyukov each had a goal and an assist, Lukas Dostal made 21 saves and the Ducks beat the Seattle Kraken, 4-2, on Friday night for their sixth consecutive victory following a nine-game losing streak.
Ryan Poehling scored short-handed, Chris Kreider added a power-play goal and Mintyukov banked in a long empty-netter. The Ducks have three games left on a five-game trip they opened with a 2-1 shootout victory at NHL-leading Colorado on Wednesday night.
Jared McCann and Jaden Schwartz scored for Seattle in the third game of a six-game homestand. Philipp Grubauer stopped 27 shots, highlighted by a successful poke-check on Jansen Harkins’ penalty shot midway through the second.
Gauthier and Poehling gave the Ducks a 2-0 lead in the first period, with the Ducks outshooting the Kraken 13-2 in the opening 20 minutes.
Gauthier scored at 1:02. He broke down the right side, cut inside and beat Grubauer with a wrist shot. He has five points over the past three games (three goals, two assists) following a four-game pointless drought.
Poehling connected with the Ducks a man down with 4:36 left. He raced down the left side and avoided Grubauer’s poke-check.
McCann got one back for Seattle at 1:55 of the second. Kreider countered on a power play 2:05 later, scoring off a rebound for his 16th of the season.
Schwartz cut it to 3-2 at 1:54 of the third, getting behind the defense to tip in Shane Wright’s feed.
