Kraken Need to Stop the Bleeding: Panthers Up Next in Florida
The Seattle Kraken are sitting at 31-29-9 and they're heading into Tuesday night in Sunrise, Florida with a three-game losing streak hanging over their heads. This is the kind of stretch where you either find your game or you watch your season slip away. The Panthers (34-32-3) are waiting for them at 7 p.m. EDT, and honestly, this feels like the exact kind of matchup the Kraken need to get right.
The Kraken Are Struggling on the Road
Look at the numbers and it's pretty brutal. Seattle is 14-15-4 away from Climate Pledge Arena this season. That's not a team that travels well. Over the last 10 games, the Kraken are just 3-7-0, averaging 2.7 goals per night while giving up 3.4 per game. When you're losing more than twice as many games as you're winning, something's got to change. The plus side? The Kraken actually beat these Panthers 6-2 earlier this season, so they know they can win this matchup. That's something to build on.
Dunn and Kakko Need to Carry the Load
Vince Dunn has been the steady hand with 11 goals and 30 assists on the season. He's the guy who needs to step up when the team is struggling. Kaapo Kakko has been hot lately too, scoring four goals and adding four assists over the past 10 games. If those two can get rolling, the Kraken have a shot. Florida's got their own injury issues, which could give Seattle an opening, but the Panthers are 18-14-3 at home and they're dangerous in close games, sitting at 14-5-2 in one-goal decisions. This won't be easy.
The Injury Report Could Make a Difference
The Kraken are dealing with Jaden Schwartz out (face), Jared McCann day to day (lower body), and Ryan Winterton day to day (illness). That's not ideal when you're trying to stop a losing streak. The Panthers have a longer injury list, so maybe that gives Seattle a small advantage. Either way, both teams are banged up heading into this one.
This is a must-watch game for Kraken fans. Three straight losses in the playoff race? That's dangerous territory. Time to answer back.
