Three Straight Losses Have the Kraken Desperate Against Florida Tomorrow Night
The Seattle Kraken are heading to Sunrise, Florida tomorrow night riding a brutal three-game losing streak, and frankly, they need this one badly. The Panthers come in as the hotter team on paper, but here's the thing: the Kraken already beat Florida 6-2 earlier this season. That game proves this matchup is far from a foregone conclusion.
A Kraken Team Struggling to Find Their Way
Let's be real. The Kraken's last 10 games have been rough. They're 3-7-0 in that stretch, averaging 2.7 goals per game while giving up 3.4. That's not the recipe for wins in the NHL, especially when you're trying to climb out of the Pacific Division standings. Seattle sits at 31-29-9 overall and a concerning 14-15-4 on the road. Their scoring differential is underwater at negative 14, with 195 goals scored against 209 allowed.
Vince Dunn is still carrying the offensive load with 11 goals and 30 assists this season. Over the past 10 games, Kaapo Kakko has chipped in with four goals and four assists. They need both of these guys clicking on Tuesday night.
The injury report isn't helping either. Jaden Schwartz is out with a face injury, Jared McCann is day to day with a lower body issue, and Ryan Winterton is battling illness.
Florida's Got Problems Too
Here's where the Kraken catch a break: Florida is limping into this one. The Panthers are 4-6-0 over their last 10 games, averaging 2.5 goals per game. Yeah, they're 34-32-3 overall and they've got a solid 18-14-3 record at home, but that recent skid is real. They're also dealing with a long injury list. Aleksander Barkov is out with a knee injury, and Cole Schwindt, Brad Marchand, and Sam Reinhart are all sidelined.
Carter Verhaeghe leads the Panthers with 20 goals and 29 assists, while Sam Bennett has five goals and three assists over the last 10 games. The Kraken know what they're facing.
Tuesday Night Matters
Puck drops at 7 p.m. EDT on March 24th at Amerant Bank Arena. This is a team that needs to stop the bleeding. Seattle can't afford to lose another one right now. The fact that they already showed they can beat Florida this season? That's the kind of confidence the Kraken need heading into tomorrow.
