Kraken Bring Home Losing Streak Into Matchup With The Bruins

The Seattle Kraken have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NHL this season. After making a surprising run to the playoffs in their inaugural season, the Kraken have struggled mightily this year, and currently sit at 18-34-4, second-to-last in the Western Conference.

The Kraken’s struggles have been due to several factors, including injuries, poor goaltending, and a lack of scoring. The Kraken have been especially hard-hit by injuries this season, with several key players, including captain Mark Giordano, missing significant time. The Kraken have also struggled to get consistent goaltending from Philipp Grubauer and Martin Jones, who have both been below average this season.

Kraken’s Losing Streak Extends to Four Games

The Kraken’s latest loss came on Tuesday night, a 3-2 defeat to the Boston Bruins. The Bruins scored two goals in the third period to rally for the win, extending the Kraken’s losing streak to four games. The Kraken have now lost six of their last seven games, and are just 3-13-2 in their last 18 games.

The Kraken will look to snap their losing streak on Thursday night when they host the New York Islanders. The Islanders are also struggling this season, but they have won two of their last three games.

Bruins Look to Continue Hot Streak

The Bruins, meanwhile, have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL since the start of the new year. The Bruins have won seven of their last nine games, and are now 34-15-4 on the season. The Bruins are led by David Pastrnak, who has 35 goals and 26 assists this season. Patrice Bergeron has also been a key contributor for the Bruins, with 20 goals and 27 assists.

The Bruins will look to continue their hot streak on Thursday night when they visit the Kraken. The Bruins will be looking to sweep the season series against the Kraken, after winning the first meeting between the two teams 5-2 in Boston on November 15.

Kraken Face Uphill Battle

The Kraken face an uphill battle in their matchup with the Bruins. The Bruins are one of the best teams in the NHL, and they are playing with a lot of confidence right now. The Kraken, on the other hand, are struggling and have lost four straight games.

If the Kraken want to have any chance of winning on Thursday night, they will need to play their best game of the season. They will need to get good goaltending from Grubauer or Jones, and they will need to generate more offense. The Kraken will also need to avoid taking penalties, as the Bruins have one of the best power plays in the NHL.

Prediction

The Bruins are the clear favorites in this matchup. They are the better team, and they are playing with more confidence. The Kraken will need to play their best game of the season to have any chance of winning.
