Hellebuyck kept it a 1-1 game when he stopped Andre Burakovsky on a breakaway late in the second.

Kraken: Showed no signs of fatigue in the last of a five-game road trip. The Kraken were all over the Jets in the first period when they scored first and outshot Winnipeg 11-8. But the Jets kept putting the pressure on in the last two periods.
The Kraken return home to play the Los Angeles Kings, also on Saturday night.
