The teams, which had failed to score in the first period previously this season, combined for five goals in the first 20 minutes on Tuesday.
Seattle opened the scoring at 3:37 on a wrist shot by Evans from the top of the left faceoff circle.
The Kraken made it 2-0 at 7:07 as Schwartz's pass from his own zone created a two-on-one rush. Stephenson carried the puck down the right wing before making a cross-ice pass to Bjorkstrand, who beat Saros from the bottom of the left faceoff circle.
Nashville scored twice in a span of 2:13 to tie it.
McCarron beat Daccord high to the blocker side with a backhander at 14:47 to get the Predators on the board.
Novak tied it at 17:00 on a one-timer from just outside the right post after a nifty cross-ice pass from Mark Jankowski.
The Kraken regained the lead at 19:27 as Tanev set up in front of the net and tipped Brandon Montour's shot from the right point over Saros' shoulder.
The Predators tied it at 3-3 at 17:17 of the second as Skjei scored on a rebound.
Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn returned to the lineup after missing the team's 2-0 loss at Dallas on Sunday with an upper-body injury.
