Will Smith extended his goal streak to three games, Mikael Granlund and Jake Walman each had two assists and Mackenzie Blackwood made 36 saves as the San Jose Sharks defeated the Seattle Kraken 4-2 on Saturday night.

The win was the Sharks’ second in two nights against the Kraken. San Jose beat Seattle 8-5 on Friday.

Mario Ferraro scored the first goal late in the first period with a wrist shot that deflected off defenseman Will Borgen. Luke Kunin and Cody Ceci and Smith scored within eight minutes of each other in the second period as Seattle won for the third time in four games.

The Kraken fell behind 4-0 before Jaden Schwartz scored on a snap shot in the middle period. Jared McCann scored his team-leading 10th goal in the third period. Joey Daccord finished the game with 19 saves.

Kraken: Seattle is 5-12-0 when trailing early in games this season.

Sharks: Blackwood won his first start since defeating the Detroit Red Wings in overtime on Nov. 18.

Matty Beniers appeared to score with eight seconds left in the third period to pull his team within a point, but the goal was overturned due to goaltender interference.

The Sharks have scored 22 goals in their last four games.

The Kraken begin a four-game trip to Carolina on Tuesday. The Sharks are in Washington on Tuesday to face the Capitals for the second time in a six-game series.
