SEATTLE — In a tight match on Saturday, Jamie Oleksiak netted the decisive goal with just 3:13 remaining, leading the Seattle Kraken to a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders and securing their fourth consecutive win.

The Kraken saw contributions from Yanni Gourde and Jared McCann as well, while Brandon Tanev played a pivotal role with two assists. Honorable mention goes to Joey Daccord, who made 22 saves during the game.

The Islanders’ offense was bolstered by Brock Nelson and Pierre Engvall, both finding the back of the net. Coming into this matchup, the Islanders were on a solid streak, earning points in their last five games (3-0-2). Goaltender Ilya Sorokin performed admirably, finishing with 24 saves.

Gourde opened the scoring for Seattle with his first goal of the season at 8:10 in the first period, but the lead was short-lived as Engvall equalized with 6:22 left in the frame.

The second period passed without any scoring action. In the third, the Islanders took the lead at 4:49 when Nelson scored, but McCann quickly leveled the game again less than a minute later with his team-leading ninth goal of the season.

**Takeaways**

For the Kraken, McCann’s goal highlighted his impressive form in November, accumulating seven points across his last five games, including four goals and three assists since November 5th.

On the other hand, the Islanders struggled offensively as they rank 25th in the league for goals per game, and have yet to secure a victory this season when scoring fewer than four goals.

**Key moment**

Nelson’s goal in the third period could have potentially shifted the momentum against the Kraken, especially with their offensive struggles since the first period. However, McCann’s swift response with a goal turned the tide in favor of Seattle, allowing them to regain control.

**Key stat**

During their four-game winning streak, the Kraken have outscored their opponents by a margin of 15-8.

**Upcoming games**

The Islanders will face off against Calgary on Tuesday, while the Kraken are set to host the New York Rangers on Sunday.
