Jordan Eberle scored two goals, and Ryan Donato and Jamie Oleksiak (empty net) each added one goal as Seattle ended Florida’s season opener streak with eleven games, setting the Chicago Blackhawks’ 1963-64 NHL record for longest home winning streak, to open a season.
Driedger went 21-8-4 with the Panthers for the last two seasons, but this was only his third start and first win with the Kraken extension.
