SEATTLE — Oliver Bjorkstrand had his first multigoal game of the season to lead the Seattle Kraken past the Vancouver Canucks 6-1 for their first win in franchise history over their Pacific Northwest rivals. Seattle picked up its 28th victory and 61st point in its 47th game of the season, surpassing the win and point totals from the Kraken's expansion season last year when they managed just 27 victories and 60 points. Jared McCann, Alex Wennberg, Eeli Tolvanen and Ryan Donato also scored for Seattle. Conor Garland scored his ninth of the season in the closing seconds of the second period, but it was an otherwise miserable night for the Canucks in Rick Tocchet's second game as coach.
