CBJ Game No 2– What’s Kraken? |
|
|

|
Tonight is another night for changes for Columbus as they battle the newest franchise in the league, the Seattle Kraken.
Seattle welcomes the newest breath of fresh air into the league, but brings a familiar friend in Alex Wennberg as a foe. Wennberg is still being paid by Columbus as he is in the final year of his buyout with the franchise, but has rebounded from Florida to Seattle with lucrative money in his pockets.
Columbus will do battle without Emil Bemstrom, who suffered a torn oblique after game one against Arizona.
After an explosive first game, Columbus will have to rebound and keep things steady against an unknown yet young team in Seattle.
SEA Player to Watch
RW Jordan Eberle
Eberle was a player willing let go by the Islanders to maintain a solid bottom six veteran leadership. His abilities will hurt to the West and weaken the Pacific Division. So far he has been quiet in the first few games against the Western foes.
CBJ Player to Watch
RW Patrik Laine
The first full season of Patty. The Finnish sniper has been dishing the puck with assists thus far. Soon will come the goals.
