Ondrej Palat scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, and the Devils beat the Seattle Kraken 3-2 on Monday night.

In a perfect world, the Seattle Kraken would have won Monday’s game (4-3) over the visiting New Jersey Devils. That would have halted a two-game slide, and they could have ventured off for a road swing with some wind in their sails (or waves pushing the Kraken in the right direction).
