After Strome foiled Daccord’s shutout bid at 16:35 of the third period, Kakko countered 34 seconds later.
Wolf robbed Eberle of a second goal late in the second period when Calgary’s goaltender miscalculated a deflection off the backboards, but stretched to glove Eberle’s shot. Gaudreau extended his point streak against the Flames to six straight games.
Seattle blocked 20 shots to Calgary’s eight.
The Kraken played without right-winger Matthew Samoskevich (upper body) and center Jake O’Brien (lower body). The Flames were minus winger Jonathan Huberdeau (hip).
