After winning the first two games on their seven game road swing the Kraken are making their next stop in the capital city of Ottawa to face Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stützle and the Ottawa Senators.
The Senators have been on somewhat of an upswing having won four of their last five and are trying hard to get closer to the playoff picture in the eastern conference.
The Kraken, on the other hand, have won three in a row and are currently back in third place of the pacific division.

3 Keys to the game
1) Start well, keep defensive inensity while playing smart
Even though we won both games in Edmonton and Toronto, the first period was anything but good and could've easily gotten out of hand.
Especially in Toronto where Martin Jones played very well to keep the team in it.
The team will also have to clear anything in front of their own net with a guy like Brady Tkachuk on the Sens, who loves to be right there and punish you for any mistake.
2) Penalty Kill, yeah, still....
3) Keep it up top six guys
Yep, just that.
Keep it up, it has been good the last two games and hopefully the guys will be able to keep on putting the puck in the net take some pressure off of Sprong's, Tanev's etc shoulders.

Let's see how this one goes.
The Kraken will try and win their third in a row on this road trip in order to keep their playoff spot in the pacific division.
The Sens, on the other hand, are trying really hard to make a push for the playoffs in the east and need every point they can get in order to do so.
So let's just hope the good guys are up for it and able to get more points for their quest to stay in the playoff race.
And as always....
