Sean Maloughney: Game 21: Kraken @ Panthers - Looking For Positives

The team will have to be on top of blocking shots and taking care of the small details once again. They did miss Gio but it is good to see Fleury gettin back in and contributing. The big thing is avoiding things like the bad own zone turnover that lead to that Stamkos goal.

Driedger needs to step it up here. So far he has not been good and looks like a bad mistake on Francis’ part. A solid game would go a long way to helping the team confidence.

Offence needs to really get going, need to get some zone time and get in front of the opposition goalie.

Another tough one here but hopefully can find some offence and maybe Driedger can steal one.

2-1 after a very good 1st. And right on them in the 2nd now here too. Little dangerous tradng chances but…

Absolutely owning the faceoff circle to ight. 22-6 with 5 min to go in the 2nd.

49 down. Team is slowing up Florida. Grinding them and doing a lot to limit chances. Winning faceoffs and having the puck is helping huge. Drieger coming up big, looking more sound and dialed in here.

20 more to just stay with it and keep grinding it out here.

There it is!!!!

Appleton blockin a shot payin the price and then Eberle in game 800 with his 2nd of the night!!!! Hell yeah!!!!

3-1 with a HUGE insurance goal there.

Oleksiak bullseyes the empty net!!! 4-1. The big wrecking machine cappin a great night with his 1st goal as a Kraken!

3min to go to finish strong and end it here.

There it is!!!! 4-1 win and oh nooooo we ended that win streak. No tecord for you Panthers!!

Great game and team took the 2 points. Huge game for Driedger in net as well. Three very solid games and a pair of wins. Top opponents last 3 and took 4 of 6 points.

Way to go Kraken!!
