This Loss Stings: How Nashville Just Took Down the Kraken at Home
The Seattle Kraken headed to Nashville on March 20 expecting to pick up a road win, but instead the Predators sent them packing with a 3-1 loss. Yeah, this one's going to sting for a while.
The Kraken Couldn't Find Their Game
Sometimes you walk into a barn and the other team is just sharper. That was Nashville's story on this night. The Predators came out firing at home and put the Kraken in a position where chasing the game from behind became the whole story. One goal isn't going to cut it when you're trying to compete in this league. Joey Daccord and the defense had their hands full all night as Nashville dictated the pace of play.
What This Loss Means
A trip to Nashville where you come away with just one goal is a missed opportunity, especially in a tight playoff race where every point matters. The Kraken have too much talent up front with guys like Matty Beniers, Jordan Eberle, and Jared McCann to be held to a single goal. The defense anchored by Adam Larsson and Brandon Montour needs to tighten up when the team is struggling to score. You can't win hockey games 1-3, period.
What's Next
Seattle's got to shake this off quick. These back-to-backs in March can define whether your season ends in April or makes a playoff run. The Kraken need to get back in the win column and start stacking points together if they're going to make noise down the stretch.
