At 9:22 of the first, Zuccarello one-timed a behind-the-net Kaprizov pass by Daccord (33 saves) for his second goal of the season and the 200th of his career.
On the Wild’s first power play, they almost doubled their lead, as Kaprizov kept winding up from one-timers on the right side that just missed. His best shot, however, came from the middle, a blistering wrister that Daccord got a piece of to keep out.
Back in his perch on the right, Kaprizov finally converted, but time had just expired.
This power play carried over to the second period, and that’s when the Wild officially capitalized; Zuccarello and Kaprizov set up Boldy, whose shot from the middle clipped Daccord before bouncing into the net at 1:06 for Boldy’s second goal and fourth point.
The Wild power play finished 1-for-2, while the Kraken were 1-for-3.
But only 40 seconds later, Eberle kickstarted Seattle’s comeback when he jammed a loose puck over the goal line while Fleury was sprawled inside the net — a hectic scene that previewed the rest of the game.
