LOS ANGELES — A three-game win streak, while hardly a Seattle Kraken goal when this inaugural season began, nonetheless looms rather large now that the campaign is just five weeks from ending.
Saturday night’s game against the Los Angeles Kings marked only the fifth time this season the Kraken even had a shot at completing a trio of victories. And as with previous opportunities, the Kraken again couldn’t get it done in a 4-2 loss at Crypto.com Arena that saw them limited offensively by a stifling two-way approach that could send the surprising Kings to the playoffs.
Gabriel Vilardi and Anze Kopitar had put the Kings ahead by a pair with goals late in the first period and early in the second. But Kraken newcomer Daniel Sprong gave the visitors some life with a goal that showed off some of his multifaceted skills.
