Seattle Kraken Set to Tangle with Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena

As the Seattle Kraken prepare to face off against the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena on March 23, fans are eager to see if the team can bounce back from their recent performance. The Kraken's last game ended in a shutout loss against the Winnipeg Jets, where they failed to capitalize on their shots and powerplay opportunities. Despite putting up 17 shots and maintaining a faceoff win percentage of fifty percent, they were unable to find the back of the net.

The game prior showed a different side of Seattle, as they secured a victory with an impressive shooting percentage of seventeen percent while being shorthanded. Their ability to convert on powerplays was evident as they scored one goal out of one opportunity. However, consistency remains an issue for Seattle; their performance has fluctuated over recent games.


In another previous match-up against Calgary Flames, Seattle demonstrated resilience by overcoming penalties and securing another win. They managed four goals from thirty shots and successfully killed off penalties when necessary.

Looking ahead at their upcoming game in Tempe, it's crucial for Seattle Kraken to tighten up defensively while finding ways to be more effective offensively during even-strength play. The team will need improved goaltending along with better execution on special teams if they hope to come out victorious in this encounter.


Fans can catch all the action live from Mullett Arena or tune into ESPN+ for internet streaming or ROOT Sports NW and SCRIPPS for television viewing options. The puck drops at 7:00 PM local time (2:00 AM UTC).
