OTTAWA, Ontario — The Kraken these days are getting used to making a statement by responding to one.
For the second straight game, the Kraken managed a go-ahead goal mere seconds after surrendering a tying marker. This time, it took Daniel Sprong just 22 seconds to put the Kraken back in front for good in the second period of Saturday night’s 8-4 win over the Ottawa Senators that’s the fourth in a row for his team.
Their first-ever victory in two tries at the Canadian Tire Centre helped the Kraken improve to 22-12-4 with their 12th road win this season, surpassing the 11 they had their entire debut campaign. It was also the third straight win for the Kraken with an offensive outburst of at least five goals on this gut-check of a seven-game road trip, the longest in franchise history.
