Climate Pledge Arena Showdown: Calgary Flames to Face Seattle Kraken
As the Calgary Flames prepare to take on the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Flames have been on a tear recently, and their performance in past games suggests that they could continue their winning ways against the Kraken.
In their last game against the Vancouver Canucks, the Calgary Flames dominated with an impressive 10-0 victory. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, netting goals with a remarkable 38 percent shooting percentage. Equally impressive was their defense and goaltending, which managed to keep a clean sheet by saving all 26 shots faced. This kind of two-way play is exactly what you want to see from a team heading into an important matchup.
The special teams battle will be crucial in this upcoming game. The Flames capitalized on powerplay opportunities by scoring 2 goals out of 6 chances against the Canucks. Their penalty kill was also perfect, not allowing any goals while shorthanded. On top of that, faceoff wins were evenly split at 50 percent overall – showing that they can hold their own in puck possession battles.
Comparatively, looking back at another recent game for Calgary against the San Jose Sharks on April 13th shows some resilience as well. Despite being outshot significantly (49 shots for Calgary versus only 24 for San Jose), they managed to secure a win thanks largely to stellar goaltending which boasted a save percentage of nearly 96 percent.
However, it's worth noting that in an earlier match-up with Nashville Predators on April 11th, despite putting up more shots than Nashville (44-29), they ended up losing after shootout where goaltending wasn't as impenetrable as seen in other games.
The Seattle Kraken should not be underestimated though; every NHL team has potential for surprises and upsets especially when playing at home. But based upon recent performances and statistics alone – it's hard not to favor the Flames going into this contest.
Fans eager to see if Calgary can continue its dominant streak should mark September 26th on their calendars when these two teams clash at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle at what promises to be an electrifying match starting at around seven o'clock PM local time (PST). For those unable to attend in person – unfortunately there are no broadcast networks listed but stay tuned for updates as game day approaches.
