PITTSBURGH — There was a sense heading into this Saturday night clash with a slumping, ailing foe that the Kraken had an opportunity to chart a course well beyond that of a .500 team.
After all, they’d captured three straight and were looking to sweep their road trip facing an injury-plagued Pittsburgh Penguins squad that had stunningly dropped six in a row. Still, the Penguins weren’t going down easy and it took a goal by Brandon Tanev with 3:39 to play to lift the Kraken to a 3-2 victory, their fourth in a row and fifth in six games.
The Kraken improved to 7-4-2 on the season.
