After blowing yet anothrr two goal lead and losing 2-3, in regulation, to Florida the Kraken have another stop in the sunshine state before they get back home.
This time they'll play the former Stanley Cup Champions Tampa Bay Lightning which will be a homecoming for Yanni Gourde.
The Kraken really need this one, to try and turn things around, and would have to beat the only franchise they haven't been able to beat so far in their franchise history.

3 Keys to the game
Goaltending:
According to the mourning skate it seems like Grubauer will start tonight.
He'll have to bounce back from his last performance in order to keep the Kraken in the game against a team that can still light it up, if given the chance.
Power Play:
See previous game threads....
Get to the net/middle of the ice:
In their previous four meetings the Lightning never had a problem keeping the Kraken to the outside and making things easy for Vasylevski.
This time around Vasylevsky won't be in goal and if the Kraken are able to get to the net they would find out that the Bolts are hiding Jonas Johansson behind their defense.

Let's see what this one has in store for the Kraken.
They'll need to beat the only team left they haven't beaten so far in order to try and get back on track.
If not they'd end the month of October in a pretty big hole that would be really tough to climb out and would be an indication of how this season might go.
Anyways, let's hope the boys are ready and finally able to beat the Bolts.
And as always....
