Can the Seattle Kraken Glide Past the Anaheim Ducks in Upcoming Clash?

As the Seattle Kraken prepare to face off against the Anaheim Ducks, fans are eager for insights into how their team might fare in this upcoming battle on ice. The Kraken's recent performances have been a mixed bag, with a heart-wrenching overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on March 13th and a shutout defeat at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets on March 9th. However, they showed resilience against Washington Capitals on March 15th, narrowly losing by one point.

The statistics from these past games paint an intriguing picture. Against the Capitals, despite taking more shots (24 compared to Washington's 23), they were only able to convert one into a goal. Their powerplay opportunities were not fully capitalized upon either; although they had three chances and managed six shots during these times, only one resulted in lighting up the scoreboard.


Defensively speaking, there is room for improvement as well. The Kraken allowed two goals while being shorthanded against both Vegas and Washington – an area that will need tightening up if they wish to keep Anaheim at bay.

On offense, there is potential for optimism. The game against Vegas saw them score four goals from just 30 shots – showing that when they get it right, their shooting accuracy can be devastatingly effective.


The Ducks come into this game with their own set of challenges but cannot be underestimated. They will look to exploit any weakness in Seattle's armor and capitalize where others have succeeded before them.

Looking ahead to their next meeting with Anaheim Ducks at Climate Pledge Arena presents an opportunity for redemption and perhaps even a turning point in what has been an unpredictable season so far for Seattle Kraken fans.


With all eyes set on March 27th at Climate Pledge Arena where puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM PT (Pacific Time), fans are hopeful that their team will rise like a tide and sweep away any doubts about their capabilities. This match promises excitement and tension as both teams vie for victory – it’s certainly not one to miss! Fans can catch all of this thrilling action live on ESPN+ via internet streaming or tune into BSSC/BSSD or ROOT Sports NW if watching through television broadcasts.
