Coyotes stun Kraken in OT after tying it late

Evans’ goal at 7:40 of the third made it 1-0 and was the sixth for Seattle in its past five games. The Kraken have scored 10 goals during their losing streak, four in one game.

Evans gathered Jared McCann’s cross-ice pass and scored with a wrist shot from the left face-off circle as Vejmelka sprawled across the crease. Evans was playing in his 24th NHL game, all this season.

“Obviously, it took a little bit, but it’s good to get the first one out of the way,” Evans said. “‘Canner’ made a great pass across and the goalie was way out of the crease, so I had a wide-open net.”

Evans, a defenseman, scored eight seconds after a Burakovsky shot struck the crossbar.

“He loves hockey, he’s super dedicated and he’s worked super hard, and I’m really happy for him,” Daccord said. “It’s a big moment to get your first NHL goal and we’re all really excited for him.”

Jack McBain had appeared to tie it for the Coyotes at 11:27 of the third, but the goal was overturned upon an officials’ review because McBain kicked the puck in with his skate.

The Coyotes aren’t in contention for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but Guenther said, “A lot of people would love to play the final 15 games of a season in the NHL. Everybody in this room is playing for something, and we can carry this momentum into next season.”
