SEATTLE — Mats Zuccarello had a goal and an assist, and the Minnesota Wild held on for a 4-3 win against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena on Tuesday. “It was a great 30 minutes and then a bad 30 minutes,” Zuccarello said. “We got the two points. ... First half was ours, second half was theirs, and we still found a way to win.”

Despite controlling play most of the final two periods, a few early breakdowns created a deficit the Kraken were unable to overcome in a 4-3 loss to the Wild on Tuesday night.
