3 Keys to the game
Goaltending:
Joey bounced back in Carolina and had a solid outing.
No matter which one of the goalies will be in net tonight needs to show up given that the Panthers have a high powered offense that can get you in trouble fast if your goalie doesn't perform.
Power Play:
In order to make up for a lower shooting percentage(compared to last season) the Kraken need to find other ways to score.
One of them could be the power play which hasn't been good so far this season and even had it's moments completely killing off any kind of momentum for the Kraken.
Offensen in general:
The Kraken have been able to score a bit more in three of their last four games but will probably need more than those two goals in Carolina to consistantly get points in this league.
Like said before, going to the net and trying to get inside would help a lot, given that this is the way to create trouble for other teams and their goaltender.

This should be an exciting one.
Both teams like to play fast paced hockey and create chances this way.
The Panthers have more high end talent than the Kraken who should try to be aware which Panthers lines are on the ice in orderr to not get into trouble against the likes of Barkov, Tkachuk etc.
Anyways, it's another game of Kraken hockey and the boys have a chance to try and climb back towards that NHL .500 mark and gain ground in the standings.
And as always....
