Kaapo Kakko scored twice in the third period, Joey Daccord made 33 saves and the Seattle Kraken overcame an early two-goal deficit to beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-2 on Saturday. Oliver Bjorkstrand gave Seattle the lead on a scramble in front of the net at 3:08 of the third.

“All the Finnish guys know each other, like, somehow,” Kakko said.

Kaapo Kakko scored twice as the Seattle Kraken rallied from a two-goal deficit to defeat the host Buffalo Sabres 6-2 Saturday. Oliver Bjorkstrand sparked Seattle, which was winless in its previous four games (0-3-1),

The New York Rangers traded Kakko to the Seattle Kraken on Dec. 18 and he has taken off ever since. In 10 games with the Kraken, the 23-year-old forward has recorded three goals, four assists and seven points. He is also averaging 15:59 minutes per game compared to his 13:17 minutes with the Rangers, which is a substantial increase.

Chandler Stephenson, Josh Mahura and Jared McCann each had two assists for the Kraken (18-22-3), who had lost four in a row (0-3-1). Joey Daccord made 33 saves in his first start since Dec. 22; he relieved Philipp Grubauer in a 6-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday, his first game after missing five with an upper-body injury.
