NHL LIVE Seattle Kraken vs Florida Panthers | Play By Play Commentary & Reaction
It would be fitting if Chris Driedger was in goal Tuesday night when the Seattle Kraken play host to the Florida Panthers. Whether the Kraken goalie gets that opportunity remains to be seen. Seattle is mired in an eight-game losing streak (0-6-2), one shy of the franchise record. Driedger, whose last NHL start was May 1, 2022, was selected from the Panthers in the 2021 expansion draft. He split goaltending duties with Philipp Grubauer during Seattle's inaugural season. But Driedger suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament while playing for Canada in the gold-medal game at the 2022 IIHF World Championships and missed nearly all of last season. He was sent to Coachella Valley of the American Hockey League to rehab and served as the backup to Joey Daccord as the Firebirds made it to Game 7 of the Calder Cup final last spring. Beaten out by Daccord in training camp this fall, Driedger returned to Coachella Valley and went 9-5-1 with a 2.20 goals-against average. He was recalled by the Kraken on Sunday when Grubauer was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. Though Driedger's return against the Panthers would seem almost poetic, Kraken coach Dave Hakstol is more concerned about getting his team back on track. The Kraken suffered back-to-back losses over the weekend, 4-3 to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday -- a game in which Grubauer was hurt in the closing seconds of the second period -- and 3-0 to the Minnesota Wild on Sunday. Daccord kept the Kraken within 1-0 until there was about 7 1/2 minutes left and the Wild later added an empty-net goal. At one point this season, the Kraken had blown leads in 16 of 17 games. At least they were getting leads back then. They've had just one during their skid. Kraken players seem at a loss to explain the reasoning. The Panthers have won three in a row, including a 5-2 victory Sunday at Columbus in which Sam Reinhart had a career-high four assists. Aleksander Barkov added a goal and two assists and Gustav Forsling, Carter Verhaeghe and Matthew Tkachuk also tallied. This will be the Panthers' second stop on a five-game trip.
