The Kraken have been showing a strong trend of success in recent games. In their last matchup against the Canucks, they secured a victory with a final score of 4-3 after an intense overtime period. Their offense was firing on all cylinders with a shooting percentage of 14 percent and they dominated faceoffs with a win rate of 57 percent. The powerplay unit managed to capitalize once out of three opportunities, while their penalty kill stood firm against two shorthanded situations.


In another notable performance against the Calgary Flames at home, Seattle showcased defensive prowess by shutting out their opponents and winning by three goals. Their goaltending was perfect that night with a save percentage reaching 100 percent – an encouraging sign for fans hoping for consistency between the pipes.

Against Edmonton Oilers, also at Climate Pledge Arena, the Kraken maintained this momentum with another shutout victory. They were particularly effective when down a man, scoring one shorthanded goal and successfully killing all penalties faced.


Seattle's recent form suggests that they have found some stability both offensively and defensively. Their ability to convert on scoring chances while maintaining discipline in their own zone has been key to their victories.
