    The Kraken collected their second signature victory of their six game homestand Monday, a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the Boston Bruins via a shootout.

    Seattle defeated the Eastern Conference leaders four days after a 5-2 win over the Western Conference-leading Vancouver Canucks.

    The Kraken, in the midst of a tight race for the second wild card playoff berth in the West, don't have the luxury of savoring their second win over the Bruins in 11 days.

    But you can.
