Penguins Open Road Trip With Win In Seattle

SEATTLE (AP) — Brett Kulak broke a second-period tie with his first goal of the season, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Seattle Kraken 6-3. Kulak, acquired from Edmonton in December as part of the trade for goalie Tristan Jarry, scored for the first time since last year’s Western Conference final. The defenseman ripped a one-timer to give the Penguins a 3-2 lead with 5:15 left in the second. Connor Dewar had a short-handed goal and an empty-netter for the Penguins, who also got goals from Justin Brazeau, Rickard Rakell and defenseman Parker Witherspoon. Sidney Crosby had two assists in his 1,400th career game, and Stuart Skinner made 20 saves. Ben Meyers, Ryan Lindgren and Eeli Tolvanen also scored for Seattle, which has lost four straight and six of seven.
