SEATTLE (AP) — Dallas defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok broke a tie with 5:44 left with his first goal of the season to help the Stars beat the Seattle Kraken 3-2 on Wednesday night.

The right-handed shooting Kolyachonok beat goalie Joey Daccord with a long, low wrist shot from near the left boards.
