Wright opened the scoring for the Kraken in his milestone game. Mason Marchment took a shot in the final seconds of the Kraken’s power play, but his shot was blocked by Anthony Stolarz. The loose puck bounced off Jaden Schwartz and found Wright to the left of the net. He took a shot to score the first goal of the game for Seattle.
