The Kraken came out on top in a crucial matchup against the Predators on Tuesday night, thanks in large part to the efforts of Eeli Tolvanen. The Finnish forward scored two goals in the game, leading the Kraken to a 3-2 victory.
Tolvanen opened the scoring for the Kraken early in the first period, taking a pass from teammate Tyler Johnson and firing a shot past Predators goaltender Juuse Saros. The goal was Tolvanen’s fourth of the season, and it gave the Kraken an early 1-0 lead.
The Predators responded with a goal of their own late in the first period, but Tolvanen struck again in the second period. This time, he took a pass from linemate Ryan Getzlaf and beat Saros with a wrist shot to put the Kraken up 2-1.
The Predators tied the game late in the third period, but Tolvanen was not done yet. With just over a minute remaining in regulation, he scored his second goal of the game, this time off a pass from defenseman Erik Gudbranson. The goal proved to be the game-winner, as the Kraken held on for the 3-2 victory.
Tolvanen’s two-goal performance was crucial for the Kraken, as it helped them secure an important two points in the standings. The win was also a big confidence boost for Tolvanen, who has been struggling to find his scoring touch this season. With his two goals against the Predators, Tolvanen now has five goals on the season and is looking to build on that total in the coming weeks.
Overall, it was a great performance from Eeli Tolvanen, and one that will certainly be remembered by Kraken fans for years to come. His two goals were instrumental in helping the Kraken secure a crucial win over the Predators, and they could prove to be a turning point in Tolvanen’s season.
