Rough three game stretch for the Kraken after the high of that 9-game run with the WC thrown in. Think the injuries have me down more than the 3 losses, but I dont know about everyone else.
A bit wild to see the Kraken the Moneypuck "favorites" for this one, but the Leafs are coming off yet another tough loss to the Canucks Saturday night. They've lost 4 of their last 5, many in a "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" type fashion. Martin Jones is playing back to his career average after his hot start, their offense isnt generating as much possession/zone time despite otherwise strong offensive numbers, and their defense just seems a bit ropey. Presumably Samsonov in net tonight as Jones started last night against Vancouver.
For the Kraken, Puckpedia lists Beniers, Dunn, PEB and Grubauer as "unknown" as far as their returns, while Yanni Gourde will sit the first game of his 2-match suspension for the hit on Ekholm. Gru is practicing (IG photos of him taking warmups at the WC, as well as yesterday) so his return may be soon?
