It's Seven Straight Wins For The Seattle Kraken

01/13/2023 at 4:45am EST

from Kate Shefte of the Seattle Times,

he Kraken finished off the first half of the season with their most telling win to date. They handed the Bruins their first regulation home loss 3-0 on Thursday and hit seven straight victories for the second time in the 2022-23 season.

The Bruins have the best record in the NHL. They were in the Kraken’s way, on their heels, maybe even in their heads early. They gave Seattle one of the stiffest challenges it has seen this season.

Goaltender Martin Jones made 27 saves and shut out Boston for the first time in 41 games. He turned in his second consecutive shutout and third of the season.

The Bruins had only lost in regulation four times this season and were 19-0-3 at TD Garden. Seattle is two wins shy of matching its total for its inaugural season in mid-January.

That's one impressive run for the Kraken on the road. I'm surprised this team has found so much consistency in only their second season. Now the question becomes how much does this season's success impact their long-term plans. Originally expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, Francis might have to think differently to reward the players.
