Can the Seattle Kraken Ride the Wave to Victory at Prudential Center?

As the Seattle Kraken prepare to face off against the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance on enemy ice. The Kraken have shown a commendable resilience in their past few games, with a notable trend of strong goaltending and an aggressive offense.

In their last outing against the Anaheim Ducks, Seattle emerged victorious with a 3-2 win. Their offensive line managed to net three goals from just 22 shots, reflecting a shooting percentage that should worry any opponent. However, it's worth noting that faceoff wins were not in favor of the Kraken, winning only 38 percent of them.


The game prior saw another win for Seattle against Los Angeles Kings with a scoreline of 2-1. The Kraken's defense was particularly impressive as they allowed only one goal from an astounding 43 shots, showcasing their goaltender's prowess with a perfect save percentage.

However, despite these victories, there are areas where improvement is needed. The powerplay opportunities have been scarce and not fully capitalized upon; this could be crucial in tight matchups like the upcoming one against New Jersey.


Seattle's ability to maintain even strength play has been key in recent games and will likely be essential again at Prudential Center. With both teams looking to assert dominance early on in this matchup, it will be interesting to see how strategies unfold and which side can exploit weaknesses first.
