SEATTLE (AP) — It took five games, but the Seattle Kraken finally broke out offensively using a familiar formula that led to their success a season ago. Vince Dunn and Oliver Bjorkstrand each had a goal and two assists and the Kraken won for the first time this season, beating the Carolina Hurricanes 7-4 on Thursday night.Yanni Gourde, Jaden Schwartz and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare scored in a three-goal first period for the Kraken.

But they felt they were on the cusp of a breakout and it finally arrived. “It’s our depth. It’s tough to play against that,” Seattle’s Jar...
