LOS ANGELES — (AP) — Andre Burakovsky had two goals, including the winner in overtime, and the Seattle Kraken defeated the Los Angeles Kings 9-8 on Tuesday night in the highest-scoring NHL game this season. Matty Beniers and Jared McCann each had two goals in the highest-scoring game of the Kraken’s two-year existence. Gabe Vilardi had two goals for the Kings, but Cal Petersen allowed four goals on 16 shots after replacing Jonathan Quick early in the second period. Anze Kopitar, Viktor Arvidsson, Carl Grundstrom, Adrian Kempe, Sean Durzi and Mikey Anderson also scored for Los Angeles. But the decision to change goaltenders proved costly, as Petersen was at fault for the score that put the Kraken back in front.
