SEATTLE (AP) — Jordan Kyrou scored two goals less than two minutes apart late in the second period and the St. Louis Blues rallied from an early two-goal deficit to beat the Seattle Kraken in the season opener for both teams Tuesday. 3-2.

Philip Broberg also scored for St. Louis, his goal sandwiched between the two goals by Kyrou. All three goals came within 1 minute and 55 seconds.

Justin Faulk received assists on the first two goals. Robert Thomas, Dylan Holloway and Alexandre Texier also had assists.

Vince Dunn and Eeli Tolvanen scored for the Kraken two minutes apart early in the second period.

Blues goalkeeper Jordan Binnington made 30 saves. Philipp Grubauer had 22 saves for Seattle.

Takeaways

Blues: Kyrou led the Blues with 31 goals last season but is already off to a quicker start. His first senior came in St. Louis’ second game. It took another eight games before he scored his second goal.

Kraken: Tuesday’s game was the fourth season opener in team history, but the first on home ice. It was also the first time Seattle took the lead in an opening game.

Key moment

St. Louis scored the go-ahead goal just 20 seconds after tying the game. After the Blues won a faceoff at center ice, Texier spotted Kyrou charging down the right wing and Kyrou easily beat Grubauer with a wrist shot.

Key statistics

The Blues had 13 shots on goal, all of which were saved by Grubauer, before Kyrou finally broke through. During that 1:55 of the second period, they scored on three of four shots. In the game, Seattle beat St. Louis 32:25.

Next

The Blues continue their season-opening three-game series on Thursday in San Jose. The Kraken visit Minnesota on Saturday to begin a three-game trip.
