When these two teams faced off in December, the Panthers won the shootout 2-1. 

Kraken Continues to be Inconsistent

The biggest problem all season for the Kraken has been the inconsistency, and they need to find a way to be more consistent to end the season if they want to salvage it. Over the last four games, the Kraken have had only one win, but that win came in the previous game. The Kraken faced off against the Calgary Flames and secured a 3-2 victory in overtime. Joey Daccord was in goal, and he was impressive, saving 27 of the 29 shots he faced. 

The Kraken are averaging 2.95 goals, while their defense is giving up 3.16 goals per game. The defense is ranked 24th, and they must find a way to get more defense going here. Daccord could get the start in the goal for the Kraken, and he has gone 19-14-3 overall this season while giving up 2.49 goals per game. Even with the winning record, he has only one shutout. Seattle has lost three of the last four games that he has started. 

Can the Panthers Win the Third Straight Game?

The break came at the wrong time for the Panthers, as they had won two games in a row. Two games ago against the St. Louis Blues, they won 3-2, and in the last game against the Ottawa Senators, they came out ahead 5-1. The Panthers scored four goals in the second period to pace the victory. Sergei Bobrovsky was in goal, saving 26 of the 27 shots he faced. If he can continue to play like that in goal, the Panthers will continue to go on long winning streaks. 

The Panthers are averaging 3.29 goals, while their defense is giving up 2.89 goals per game. The offense is ranked 5th in the NHL, but don’t overlook this defense. Matthew Tkachuk is still out with a lower-body injury, and it’s unclear when he’ll be able to come back here. Bobrovsky could get the start in goal, and he sits with a 23-12-2 record, and he’s giving up 2.66 goals per game.

• The Kraken have failed to cover the puck line in each of their last five night games against opponents on a winning streak.
• The Kraken have lost the second period in eight of their last nine games as underdogs when leading after the first period.

Seattle Kraken vs Florida Panthers Prediction

Assuming Bobrovsky is in goal for the Panthers, Florida will get the job done. Bobrovsky looked quite impressive in his last start, and overall, he has played really well this season. The Kraken’s offense averages only 2.95 goals per game; even getting shots on goal in this game will be tough. The Kraken have struggled away from home this season, sitting with an 11-15 record, and this game will be another loss. Bobrovsky will get some goal support, and Florida will end up on top. Back the Panthers on the puck line to cash.
