SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Jeff Skinner had a hat trick, with his first goal coming during a three-goal outburst in the first six minutes to chase Seattle Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord, and the Buffalo Sabres cruised to a 6-2 victory Monday night.<\/p>\n
Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch also scored in the first period for the Sabres, who earned their first win in six tries against the third-year Kraken. With 71 points, Buffalo is four behind Washington for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot with 13 games left.<\/p>\n
Owen Power had Buffalo\u2019s other goal and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 32 saves as the Sabres bounced back from Saturday\u2019s 4-1 loss at Detroit. Luukkonen has allowed three or fewer goals in 26 of his last 27 games.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s just how it\u2019s going to be from now on \u2014 we just sort of move on to the next game,\u201d said Skinner, who leads the team with 24 goals. \u201cWe have another one tomorrow (at Pacific Division-leading Vancouver), so we won\u2019t be able to think about this one too long. It\u2019s sort of a big challenge tomorrow, and everyone knows we need two points.\u201d<\/p>\n
The three-goal barrage came after Jordan Eberle gave the Kraken a 1-0 lead just 24 seconds into the game \u2014 the third fastest-goal in team history. Matty Beniers scored on a power play late in the first but the Kraken lost their fifth straight game, all at home.<\/p>\n
