Joey Daccord made 42 saves to match a franchise record and help the visiting Seattle Kraken hold on for a 2-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings in the NHL.

Brandon Tanev and Jordan Eberle scored for the Kraken, who have earned at least a point in six of their past seven games (3-1-3).

Blake Lizotte scored short-handed and Cam Talbot made 28 saves for the Kings, who have dropped four of six (2-3-1).

The Kings beat the Kraken 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday in Seattle.

Tanev gave Seattle a 1-0 lead at 5:19 of the second period on Wednesday.

The Kings won a faceoff in their own zone, but Los Angeles defenceman Jordan Spence was unable to locate the puck at his feet. Tanev skated in and shot the puck at Talbot, who made the initial save, but Tanev followed up and knocked in the rebound for his third goal of the season.

Eberle scored on a breakaway to make it 2-0 at 6:27 of the third period.

Will Borgen used his skate to block a shot by Kings defenceman Mikey Anderson. The puck caromed in the air and Seattle's Matty Beniers gloved it down before feeding Eberle for the breakaway and his fourth goal of the season.

Los Angeles cut the lead to 2-1 at 8:00 of the third.

The Kraken were on their third power play of the game after Alex Laferriere was called for holding Oliver Bjorkstrand.

Daccord went into the corner to handle the puck after it was cleared. He passed the puck behind his net to defenceman Justin Schultz, but it bounced off Schultz's blade and began sliding toward the net.

Lizotte got to it first and shot the puck into the net before Daccord could get back to the crease.

The Kings outshot Seattle 20-8 in the first period, but couldn't get one past Daccord.

Daccord also made 42 saves against Carolina on October. 26. He's the second NHL goalie this season to make at least 20 saves in the first period without allowing a goal - he made 21 in the first period here.

Ottawa's Joonas Korpisalo stopped all 23 shots he faced in the opening 20 minutes on Oct. 28 against Pittsburgh.

Los Angeles went 0-for-4 on the power play, while Seattle finished 0-for-3 with the man advantage.

In other matches, the Washington Capitals needed overtime to defeat the New York Islanders 3-2 while the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Detroit Red Wings 5-2.
