SEATTLE — Gabe Perreault, Tye Kartye and Jaroslav Chmelar scored in the first period as the Rangers beat the Seattle Kraken, 4-3, on Saturday for their third straight victory.
Pavel Dorofeyev gave the Rangers (10-7-1) a 4-0 lead in the second period, and Alexis Lafreniere and Mika Zibanejad each had two assists.
Joonas Korpisalo stopped 25 shots in his Rangers debut. Acquired from Boston in July, he had been on injured reserve because of a foot infection.
Former Ranger Kaapo Kakko, former Islander Jordan Eberle and Vince Dunn scored for Seattle (9-6-1) in the third period. Berkley Catton had two assists, extending his points streak to a career-high eight games.
Joey Daccord was pulled for Philipp Grubauer after giving up three goals in the first 14 minutes. Grubauer stopped 15 shots.
Chmelar scored off a rebound to make it 3-0, tapping it in past Daccord after he failed to corral Noah Laba’s shot attempt.
Dorofeyev scored on a nifty backhand, beating Grubauer at 12:46 of the second period.
Kakko scored on a wraparound at 1:50 of the third period.
Eberle scored inside the crease for his fifth goal of the season. Dunn’s slap shot trimmed the Rangers’ lead to a goal with 4:58 left.
