Vince Dunn and Oliver Bjorkstrand each had a goal and two assists as the Seattle Kraken broke out of their offensive funk to defeat the visiting Carolina Hurricanes 7-4 Thursday night and earn their first victory of the season.

Yanni Gourde, Jaden Schwartz, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Jared McCann and Tye Kartye also scored for Seattle, which produced just three goals while going 0-3-1 in its first four games. Andre Burakovsky had two assists, and Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord made 32 saves.

Seth Jarvis logged two goals and an assist and Jesper Fast and Jesperi Kotkaniemi also scored for the Hurricanes. Jordan Staal and Stefan Noesen each notched two assists.

Carolina goalie Antti Raanta was pulled at 2:38 of the second period after allowing four goals on 18 shots. Pyotr Kochetkov, recalled from Syracuse of the AHL after Frederik Andersen took a shot to the mask on Tuesday at San Jose, replaced Raanta and stopped 15 of 17 shots the rest of the way.

Trailing 4-1 entering the third, the Hurricanes tallied twice in the opening 5:54 of the period to pull within a goal.

However, McCann and Kartye scored 21 seconds apart, at 11:52 and 12:13, respectively, to restore Seattle's three-goal lead.

The Kraken took a 3-1 advantage in the first period despite being outshot 21-14.

Gourde opened the scoring at 7:16, setting up in front of the net and tipping Burakovsky's shot past Raanta.

Carolina tied it 19 seconds later. Daccord made a kick save on Jaccob Slavin's shot, but the rebound deflected off Fast's skate and past the goalie.

The Kraken regained the lead on Schwartz's power-play goal at 12:18. Schwartz found a loose puck in front of the net and slipped a backhander between Raanta's pads.

Bellemare made it 3-1 with a short-handed goal at 19:22, off a two-on-one rush with Dunn.

Dunn scored a power-play goal 2:38 into the second with a shot into the upper right corner of the net from between the top of the faceoff circles, ending Raanta's night.

Jarvis tallied at 1:08 of the third and Kotkaniemi made it 4-3 at 5:54, both off assists from Stefan Noesen.

Jarvis netted a power-play goal at 15:54 before Bjorkstrand got an empty-netter at 16:51 to cap the scoring.

The Hurricanes fell to 2-2-0 on a six-game road trip.
