Can the Seattle Kraken Ride Their Momentum at TD Garden?

As the Seattle Kraken prepare to face off against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent success on enemy ice. The Kraken have been showing a promising trend in their gameplay, with two wins and an overtime loss in their last three outings.

In their most recent game against the Anaheim Ducks, the Kraken emerged victorious with a 3-2 win. They managed to score twice in the first period and held on to that lead, showcasing a solid defensive performance by blocking 12 shots and making 32 saves. Despite winning only 38 percent of faceoffs and giving away 18 turnovers, they capitalized on one out of one powerplay opportunities.


The game before that saw another win for Seattle against the Los Angeles Kings with a scoreline of 2-1. The goaltending was exceptional as they saved an impressive total of 42 shots out of 43 attempts. However, it's worth noting that faceoff wins were still an area needing improvement at just under forty percent.

Their third-last game resulted in an overtime loss to Dallas Stars but not without a fight. The Kraken scored three goals from even strength play but fell short during powerplays where they failed to convert any chances despite having four opportunities.


The upcoming match is crucial for maintaining momentum as we approach playoff positioning rounds. Fans should watch closely how Seattle manages faceoffs and capitalizes on powerplay chances while continuing their strong defensive play.
