Three Takeaways – More progress, but a 5-4 Kraken loss to the Oilers
The Kraken lost 5-4 to the Oilers on Saturday in what would have been a crushing and embarrassing defeat if it were a regular-season game. Thankfully, this was just a meaningless preseason contest, so none of us need to lose sleep over it. After conceding another...
