SEATTLE - Over 102 years later, it's advantage Kraken following the first meeting between the NHL's oldest and newest clubs.

The Habs' return to Seattle was a long time in the making, but the action got underway quickly.
Jordan Eberle opened the scoring for the Kraken just 62 seconds into the game, giving the home side an early 1-0 lead.
Brendan Gallagher nearly had Montreal's first-ever goal against the Kraken at the 8:35 mark, but Philipp Grubauer made a sprawling save to keep the Habs off the board.
Mike Hoffman would not be denied three minutes later, burying a Nick Suzuki rebound at 11:37 to make it 1-1.

The Kraken retook a 2-1 lead before the first was over, as Brandon Tanev scored his team-leading fourth goal of the campaign.
That's how things stood after 20 minutes at a Climate Pledge Arena that featured some bleu-blanc-rouge in the crowd.
The Kraken extended their lead in the middle frame with a pair of goals 1:57 apart.
Yanni Gourde scored his first of the season to double the Seattle lead, before Tanev's second of the night made it 4-1.
The only goal in the third period was Ryan Donato's 5-1 tally at 5:14.
The Canadiens will be back in action on Thursday in San Jose, for the second stop of a four-game Pacific Division road trip.
