Seattle returned to the third term with three consecutive goals from Jaden Schwartz, Matty Beigner and Eli Trubanen, but the deficit was too big.
Seattle eliminated a two-goal deficit with a short-handed goal from Tye Kartye at 5:26 in the second term, and erased the power play tally by Brandon Montour at 13:24.
Seattle goalkeeper Joey Duckcord made 18 saves.
