            TAKEAWAYS

            Kraken: Trailing 1-0 after 20 minutes, Seattle took its only lead in the second. After Schwartz scored on the power play at 10:25, Kartye split the Flames defence and ripped a shot past Wolf on a breakaway at 18:42. It was just his fifth goal on the season and second in the last 30 games for the fourth-liner.

            Flames: Captain Mikael Backlund (upper-body injury) returned to practice Monday, but was deemed not quite ready to return, missing his sixth game. Calgary welcomed back MacKenzie Weegar to its blue line after the club's top-scoring defenceman (six goals, 41 assists) missed the previous game with a lower-body injury.

                KEY MOMENT

                After the arena erupted on Andersson's goal at 15:49 of the third that gave Calgary the lead again, Seattle quieted the crowd and got the game to extra time on Eberle's goal at 18:30 that came with Daccord pulled for an extra skater.

                KEY STAT

                Seattle loses for the first time when leading after two periods, falling to 16-0-1. It leaves Minnesota (27-0-0) as the only perfect team on the season. The 2020-21 Tampa Bay Lightning (26-0-0) are the last team to finish the season without a loss in that scenario.
