Kraken Clash with Senators: A Battle of Will on Seattle Ice

As the Seattle Kraken prepare to host the Ottawa Senators at Climate Pledge Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive performance. The Kraken have been showing a strong trend in recent games, which suggests that they could have an edge in this matchup.

Looking at past performances, the Kraken have demonstrated resilience and skill. In their last game against the Vegas Golden Knights, they secured a decisive 3-0 victory, showcasing a solid defense that left their opponents scoreless despite 35 shots on goal. Their powerplay strength was evident as they capitalized on opportunities to keep pressure on the Golden Knights.


In another notable game against the Philadelphia Flyers, although it went into overtime, the Kraken emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. This was yet another testament to their defensive prowess as they managed to keep their opponents at bay while also taking advantage of powerplays.


A previous away game saw them face off against the Calgary Flames where they again came out on top with a 2-1 win. Despite being outshot and facing more giveaways and penalties than usual, they held strong defensively and made crucial saves when it mattered most.


The common thread in these games is Seattle's ability to maintain composure under pressure and utilize powerplays effectively. However, one area for potential improvement is faceoff wins; consistently winning less than half of faceoffs could be an aspect for them to focus on improving.


As we look ahead to this upcoming game against Ottawa Senators at Climate Pledge Arena, fans should expect intense action from both sides. The venue has been favorable for Seattle so far; playing at home seems to give them an extra boost that could prove pivotal in close encounters like these.


The match is scheduled for January 5th at Climate Pledge Arena and will be broadcasted nationally via ESPN+ and locally through ROOT Sports NW channel 687 for those who wish to catch every moment live or stream it online.
