Seattle Visits Florida Panthers Saturday, Tampa Bay Lightning Monday
At the time the puck drops Saturday, the outside temperature in Sunrise, FL will be about 82 degrees.
Inside Amerant Bank Arena, the Seattle Kraken are anticipating a much chillier reception from the defending Eastern Conference champion Florida Panthers.
The home team comes in well-rested, off since besting the San Jose Sharks 3-1 at home on Tuesday.
Seattle's Oliver Bjorkstrand, who had a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, said, "It still seems we're fighting the puck a little bit."
To that point, Kraken coach Dave Hakstol acknowledged the Kraken offense is putting in the work, but not seeing the results. Against the Hurricanes, "Second period, we had four grade-A's (scoring chances). I don't think we gave up that many."
