Can the Seattle Kraken Harness Home Ice Advantage Against the Winnipeg Jets?

As the Seattle Kraken prepare to host the Winnipeg Jets at Climate Pledge Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can capitalize on their home ice advantage. The upcoming clash scheduled for March 9th promises to be an exciting one, with both teams looking to assert dominance.

The Kraken's recent performance has been a mixed bag, but there are positive signs. In their last three games at Climate Pledge Arena, they have shown resilience and capability. They secured a hard-fought victory against the Bruins in a game that went down to a shootout, demonstrating their ability to stay composed under pressure. Their goaltending was impeccable with a save percentage rounding up to 100 percent.

However, consistency is key in hockey, and this is where Seattle needs focus. A loss against Minnesota Wild showed some defensive vulnerabilities as they conceded five goals despite putting up two of their own. Yet again, they were strong on hits with 22 but struggled on powerplay opportunities without converting any.

Their most recent home game saw them bounce back impressively against the Vancouver Canucks with an emphatic win where they scored five goals and allowed only two against them. Their shooting percentage was impressive at 16 percent and they managed an empty-net goal which shows tactical awareness.

The Winnipeg Jets will be no easy opponent; however, playing at home should give Seattle an edge if they can maintain discipline and convert powerplay opportunities while relying on solid goaltending that has been present in past performances.
