Kraken Surge to Impressive 2-0-1 Record
The Seattle Kraken are off to their best start ever, going 2-0 for the first time in franchise history. After winning their first two games against Pacific Division opponents, the Kraken narrowly lost to the Montreal Canadiens in overtime, picking up five of the available six points.
Under new head coach Lane Lambert, the Kraken have been limiting high-danger chances in front of goaltender Philipp Grubauer. The team's strong defensive play has been a key factor in their early-season success. Offensively, the Kraken have received contributions from a variety of players, including defenseman Adam Larsson, who had a career-best 28 points last season.
Kraken Look to Rebound Against Struggling Senators
The Kraken will look to get back in the win column when they take on the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night. The Senators have lost three straight games to start the season and will be without captain Brady Tkachuk, who is out for a month with a hand injury.
Despite the Senators' struggles, the Kraken know they can't take their opponent lightly. Formidable center Dylan Cozens remains a threat for Ottawa, and the Kraken will need to continue their strong defensive play to come away with the victory.
