Kraken close road trip against Panthers

What to watch

Brandon Montour left Thursday's game early with a lower body injury. If he can't go, Cale Fleury is likely to play, paired with Ryker Evans as in Friday's practice.¹
Chandler Stephenson has a six-game road points streak to start the season, the longest in team history. One more point ties the Kraken record of seven for a road points streak across seasons.¹
Brady Tkachuk has scored natural hat tricks in each of his last two games. The Panthers won both, 7-3 over Columbus and 3-2 over Vancouver.¹
