Nashville Just Reminded Us Why the Kraken Still Have Work to Do
The Seattle Kraken fell to the Nashville Predators 3-1 on March 19, and it stung. Filip Forsberg lit the lamp for the Preds, and that was just the start of a rough night at Climate Pledge Arena. The offense couldn't get it done when it mattered, and that's the kind of loss that hangs around in your head when you're fighting for positioning down the stretch.
Another Tough Night Against Nashville
Look, Nashville came in and did what playoff teams do. Forsberg found the back of the net, and Ryan Ufko added one too. The Kraken's defense held up for stretches, but you can't spot a team like the Predators a 3-1 hole and expect to waltz out of there. This is the kind of game that shows you where you stand in the league right now.
The Kraken Had Their Moment
Frederick Gaudreau scored for Seattle, keeping the Kraken on the board. It's something to build on, but one goal isn't getting it done in March when every single point matters. The team's got weapons. You've got guys like Matty Beniers, Jordan Eberle, Jared McCann, and Kaapo Kakko who can step up. They showed flashes earlier in the month against Florida and Vancouver, but consistency is where this team still needs to grow.
What's Next
The Kraken are still fighting for their playoff hopes, and games like this one show why that's going to come down to execution and intensity. Joey Daccord between the pipes needs support from the guys in front of him, and the offense has to capitalize on the chances that come their way. This loss stings, but it's not the end of the story. Not yet, anyway.
