Jordan Kyrou scores twice as Blues spoil Kraken’s home opener with 3-2 win

St.

Louis center Jordan Kyrou, second from left, celebrates his second goal of the game against the Seattle Kraken with teammates during the second period Tuesday in Seattle.

Lindsey Wasson/Associated Press SEATTLE 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 on Tuesday, 3-2.

Philip Broberg also scored for St.

Louis, his goal sandwiched between the two by Kyrou.

All three goals came in a span of 1 minute, 55 seconds.

Justin Faulk picked up assists on the first two goals.

Robert Thomas, Dylan Holloway and Alexandre Texier also had assists.

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

Blues goalie Jordan Binnington made 30 saves.

Philipp Grubauer had 22 saves for Seattle.

NOTES KRAKEN: The Seattle Kraken selected Jordan Eberle as their captain moments before their season opener, filling the last void at that spot among the NHLs 32 teams.

Every team in the league has a captain for the first time since the 2010-11 season.

The Utah Hockey Club recently announced Clayton Keller as its captain, and the Buffalo Sabres put the C on young leader Rasmus Dahlin before they opened their season in Prague.

The other new captains this year are Anaheims Radko Gudas, Chicagos Nick Foligno and Tampa Bays Victor Hedman, the successor to Steven Stamkos, who was not re-signed and left for Nashville in free agency.

Many teams in recent years have chosen to go without a captain and instead rely on a leadership group of three alternates wearing an A on their jerseys.
