Kraken Set Sail to Conquer Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena

As the Seattle Kraken prepare to face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive performance streak. The Kraken have been showcasing a strong offensive game, with a recent victory over the Capitals where they netted four goals and maintained a shooting percentage of 17 percent. Their defense was equally formidable, allowing only one goal against them and achieving a perfect save percentage.

The trend continued in their clash with the Sabres, where they scored five times from 26 shots, translating into an impressive 19 percent shooting accuracy. Once again, their goaltender stood tall between the pipes, saving 36 out of 38 shots for another win.

In their home game against the Senators, Seattle's offense remained potent with four goals on 28 shots and a shooting percentage of 14 percent. The defensive side didn't disappoint either; they conceded just one goal while their goalie saved an outstanding 32 out of 33 shots.

Despite these strong performances, faceoff win percentages have been less than dominant in recent games – something that could be crucial in controlling the game's pace against Columbus.

The Kraken's power play hasn't been firing on all cylinders lately but has shown signs of life. Meanwhile, penalty killing has been stellar; not conceding any goals during shorthanded situations is certainly something that can boost team confidence heading into this matchup.

Fans should expect an intense battle as both teams vie for dominance on the ice. With Seattle's current momentum and solid goaltending backing them up, there is much anticipation about whether they can maintain this high level of play away from home soil.
