Seattle ended a six-game losing streak Thursday when Berkly Catton scored in the third period and again in the shootout to lift the Kraken to a 4-3 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights at Climate Pledge Arena. The win halted Seattle’s skid and snapped Vegas’ four-game run under coach John Tortorella; Joey Daccord made 31 saves, Jared McCann reached 20 goals, and teams will adjust lines and goaltending decisions in the coming days.
