Gourde's OT goal lifts Kraken to 3-2 win over Avalanche

Brandon Tanev and Alexander Wennberg also scored for Seattle and Philipp Grubauer stopped 21 shots against his former team.

Alexandar Georgiev rebounded from a rough game in Dallas with 32 saves, and Nathan MacKinnon and Denis Malgin had goals for Colorado.

The Kraken controlled the puck in overtime and won it when Gourde got a breakaway and beat Georgiev for his 10th goal of the season.

It spoiled a bounce-back game for Georgiev. He allowed five goals on 19 shots in a 7-3 loss to the Stars on Saturday and was pulled in the second period but he was sharper Sunday night. Georgiev made seven saves on Seattle's two-minute 5-on-3 to start the third and 15 overall in the period.

MacKinnon has points in nine of his last 10 games and leads the team with 74 despite missing three weeks in December with an upper-body injury. His 23 goals are second on the team to Mikko Rantanen's 41.

MacKinnon gave Colorado the 1-0 lead at 9:19 of the first to extend his goal streak at home to six games.

Georgiev stopped Tanev on a breakaway early in the second but the Kraken tied it on Wennberg's 12th of the season at 9:52.

Malgin put the Avalanche back in front with a breakaway goal at 11:45, his sixth of the season.

Seattle kept the pressure on throughout the third period and finally broke through when Tanev scored at with 2 1/2 minutes left to send it to overtime.
