NEW YORK — Tomas Tatar scored the lone goal in a shootout and the Seattle Kraken beat the New York Islanders 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Matty Beniers scored in regulation, Philipp Grubauer made 26 saves and the Kraken snapped a three-game losing streak.
Kyle Palmieri scored and Ilya Sorokin stopped 29 shots in New York's second consecutive defeat.
Tatar used a series of dekes and a forehand shot to beat Sorokin. Islanders forwards Oliver Wahlstrom, Bo Horvat and Mathew Barzal were all denied in the shootout.
"I kind of panicked, to be honest," Tatar said about his shootout move.
