Jordan Eberle and his Kraken teammates came in here looking to continue their red-hot ways for the hometown fans in similar fashion to how they’ve largely steamrolled opponents on the road.
And fewer than 17 minutes into Tuesday night’s 5-1 win over the Nashville Predators, Eberle had already potted two goals, the opposing netminder was hitting the showers and Climate Pledge Arena fans were having a grand old time like never before. That’s because the Kraken pumped a team record four first-period goals behind Nashville starting netminder Juuse Saros, letting the hometown team prepare the postgame “Come and Get Your Love” victory music a little early ahead of their fifth consecutive victory.
“Our road record’s been a lot better than at home and we have a bit of a stand here,” Eberle said after the Kraken’s sixth win in eight games propelled them to a record of 8-4-2, good for second place in the Pacific Division. “So, to get the first one is obviously pretty big.”
