“With this group here, you’re up 3-2 on the road going into the third period, it’s lockdown for us,” head coach Scott Arniel said. “We just made too many mistakes.”

The Jets surrendered three-third period goals in a 5-3 loss to the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night.

“I thought we outplayed them in the third period,” Cole Perfetti said. “They had a couple of good chances and one breakdown in the defensive zone (on the first Eberle goal). We had a two-on-one right before it. (If we) make the play there that goal doesn’t happen. They had a couple of chances and capitalized. And that was that.”
Seattle defenceman Eeli Tolvanen tied the game with a power-play goal at 4:11. From there, Jordan Eberle took over on the score sheet.
He gave the Kraken their first lead of the night, a 4-3 advantage, when he circled behind the net and came out to the goal line to the right of Connor Hellebuyck. Matty Beniers dished the puck across to a wide-open Eberle for the tap in at 7:21.

Eberle scored into the empty net at 18:25 to finish the scoring.
The shots were 9-5 for Winnipeg in the third and 26-18 overall. According to Natural Stat Trick, the Jets out chanced the Kraken 6-3 in the final period.
For the first time this season, the Jets lost a game in which they held the lead going into the final period. They are now 7-1-0. Seattle was 0-4-3 while trailing after 40 minutes.
“With this group here, you’re up 3-2 on the road going into the third period, it’s lockdown for us,” head coach Scott Arniel said. “We just made too many mistakes. Three goals in our D-zone coverage, strictly coverage, with situations that we blew. And then, our execution throughout the game was poor.”
Alex Iafallo, Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor scored for the Jets. Connor’s man advantage goal late in the second was his first power-play goal since Dec. 23 of last season.

Hellebuyck stopped 13 of 17 shots in the loss.
Kappo Kakko and Vince Dunn also scored for the Kraken. Jaden Schwartz picked up an assist on Kakko’s goal in the first period. Schwartz scored two goals and added one assist in Seattle’s 3-0 win against the Jets on Oct. 23. Seattle has played 10 one-goal games this season. The Kraken scored five goals in a game for the first time this season.
Philipp Grubauer turned aside 23 of 26 shots for his second victory of the season.
The Jets finish their six-game road trip on Saturday evening in Calgary. They are 1-4-0 through five games.
Ice Chips
Luke Schenn, Nikita Chibrikov, and Brad Lambert were scratched. Defenceman Hadyn Fleury was transferred to IR on Thursday. Fleury left the game on Tuesday against Vancouver with an upper body injury. On Thursday, head coach Scott Arniel confirmed Fleury was in concussion protocol. Cole Koepke was also transferred to IR. Morgan Barron was at practice on Thursday in a yellow caution jersey.
Getting the message
If Arniel was looking for some consistency, then he should have zero complaints about the first period goal in Seattle. Iafallo went hard for the back post as Adam Lowry’s pass into the goal crease banged off the hard-charging winger and into the net behind Grubauer. In Vancouver on Tuesday, two of the team’s four goals came courtesy of friendly fire as passes bounced off teammates before going into the net. Even Josh Morrissey’s first-period powerplay goal from distance bounced off bodies battling for position at the top of the crease.
