The Kraken were on the short end of a 3-2 OT loss Thursday at Carolina, and they have alternated losses and wins in the past 5 outings. Seattle has had difficulty at the defensive end and in the goaltending department, allowing 3 or more goals in 5 straight outings, and 7 of 8 games overall.
The Panthers righted the ship with a 3-1 win over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday, and Florida will be well rested heading into this home game.
