Noah Gregor had a goal and an assist, and Nolan Foote, Eetu Luostarinen, and Carter Verhaeghe also scored for the Panthers (35-32-3), who had lost three of four. Sergei Bobrovsky made 22 saves and stopped all three attempts he faced in the shootout.
Jordan Eberle had a goal and an assist, and Ryker Evans, Matty Beniers and Bobby McMann also scored in the third period for the Kraken (31-29-10), who have lost four straight (0-3-1) since defeating the Panthers 6-2 on March 15 and eight of their past 10 (2-7-1). Joey Daccord made 20 saves.
Gregor gave the Panthers a 4-1 lead at 12:21 of the third period when his centering pass for Foote on a rush deflected in off the stick of Shane Wright.
Beniers made it 4-2 at 14:17. He skated across the crease and tucked a shot past the right pad of Bobrovsky, who had attempted to knock the puck away with a poke check.
Eberle cut it to 4-3 at 16:24, forcing a turnover on Dmitry Kulikov in the neutral zone before skating in and beating Bobrovsky over his glove on a breakaway.
Seattle then tied it 4-4 just 14 seconds later. McMann skated in on another breakaway but this time shot past Bobrovsky’s blocker.
Florida opened the scoring at 2:32 of the second period. Gregor, who was recalled from Charlotte of the American Hockey League earlier in the day, drove the puck down the left wing on a 2-on-1 rush and fed a streaking Foote, who chipped the puck past Daccord in front.
Luostarinen made it 2-0 at 5:16 of the third period. Vinnie Hinostroza got to a loose puck near the slot and sent a backhand toward the net that redirected five-hole off the stick of Luostarinen.
Verhaeghe extended the lead to 3-0 at 7:37. Following a giveaway by Wright, Verhaeghe got control of the puck along the end boards and banked a shot in off Daccord’s right pad.
Evans made it 3-1 at 8:10. His one-timer from the point went wide of the net, but it caromed hard off the end boards and bounced in off Bobrovsky’s left skate as he was backing into position.
