Earlier this month, the Kraken lost 6-2.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a rough road trip for the Kraken. Right now, they are riding a four-game losing streak.<\/p>\n<p>They almost managed to make a triumphant comeback against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. The Kraken scored three goals in the third period to tie the game. They ultimately lost in the shootout, but picked up a hard-fought point.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring early needs to be a priority so the Kraken aren\u2019t playing catchup as the game goes on. They have not won a game this season when trailing by three or more goals.<\/p>\n<p>The Kraken have only beat Tampa Bay once in franchise history. If they can pick up a win this time around, it could help build some momentum as they head into the home stretch of the season.<\/p>\n<p>As it currently stands, the Kraken are two spots out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nHow to watch the Kraken on KONG                    <\/p>\n<p>KING 5 and KONG are the official local television partners of the Kraken, bringing the hockey team to free, over-the-air television.
