Seattle's Skid Hits Three: Can the Kraken Stop the Bleeding Against Florida?
The Kraken are coming into Tuesday night's matchup in Sunrise, Florida with some serious momentum working against them. Seattle has dropped three straight games, and frankly, that's not the kind of streak you want heading into the final stretch of the season. The good news? They've got a chance to turn things around against a Panthers team they already beat once this year. The bad news? The Kraken are struggling on the road, and every point matters right now.
A Chance at Redemption in South Florida
Here's the thing: Seattle already knows it can beat Florida. Back on March 15, the Kraken dominated the Panthers 6-2 in their first meeting this season. That's the kind of performance the team needs to find again, especially with their record sitting at 31-29-9 and their road numbers looking rough at 14-15-4. Tuesday's 7 p.m. EDT puck drop at Amerant Bank Arena is the second shot at Florida, and frankly, Seattle needs to take advantage.
The Kraken are sitting at 71 points in the Pacific Division standings, so every win counts. This is a team that has to find consistency if they want to stay competitive down the stretch. Florida comes in at 34-32-3 overall with 71 points of their own in the Atlantic Division, so this isn't some powerhouse team. This is a winnable game for Seattle.
The Stats Don't Lie
Let's talk about what's gone wrong lately. In their last 10 games, the Kraken are 3-7-0. That's brutal. They're averaging 2.7 goals per game but giving up 3.4, which tells you everything you need to know about why they're on this skid. The defense has to tighten up, plain and simple.
On the positive side, Vince Dunn has been a bright spot with 11 goals and 30 assists for the season. Kaapo Kakko has added four goals and four assists over the past 10 games. These guys need to lead the way if Seattle's going to snap this losing streak. The Kraken will be without Jaden Schwartz (face injury), while Jared McCann (lower body) and Ryan Winterton (illness) are day to day. Florida has their own injury concerns, dealing with multiple lineup gaps heading into the game.
Time to Get Back on Track
Tuesday night in Sunrise is a must-watch for anyone who cares about where this team is headed. The Kraken showed they can beat the Panthers earlier this season. Now they need to prove they can do it again and start climbing out of this hole.
