Tage Thompson extended his goal-scoring streak as the Buffalo Sabres wrapped up a six-game road trip with a 3-1 victory Sunday night in Seattle.
Noah Ostlund and Zach Benson also scored and Alex Tuch had two assists for the Sabres, who won their third game in a row. Goaltender Alex Lyon made 23 saves.
It was just Buffalo's second regulation victory on the road this season, after getting its first Thursday in Vancouver.
Chandler Stephenson scored for Seattle, which lost for the eighth time in its past nine games (1-7-1). Goalie Joey Daccord stopped 20 of the 22 shots he faced.
The Sabres outshot Seattle 9-3 in taking a 1-0 first-period lead.
The goal came after Kraken defenseman Jamie Oleksiak failed to keep the puck in the offensive zone at the right point, leading to a 2-on-1 rush for the Sabres.
Ostlund carried the puck down the right wing before sending a cross-ice pass to Josh Norris. Norris immediately returned the puck to Ostlund, who swiped it into the open side of the net at 17:09 before Daccord could get from post to post.
The Sabres made it 2-0 at 10:08 of the second as a Seattle turnover inside its own blue line led to a 2-on-0 rush in front of Daccord. Thompson kept the puck and jammed it under the goalie's left leg pad from close range.
It was Thompson's fourth straight game with a goal, the longest active streak in the league.
The Kraken got on the scoreboard with a power-play goal at 12:24. Jordan Eberle won a faceoff back to Vince Dunn at the left point, with the center heading to the front of the net. Dunn made a short pass to Stephenson at the top of the left faceoff circle and his wrist shot beat a screened Lyon and caromed into the net off the near post.
Benson capped the scoring with an empty-netter at 19:14 of the third.
Seattle's Mason Marchment, who scored twice in Friday's 5-3 loss at Utah, doubling his season total, was a late scratch Sunday because of an illness.
