Top Performers from Seattle Kraken


Matty Beniers, a forward for the Seattle Kraken, has been nothing short of spectacular in recent outings. In one standout game against the Winnipeg Jets, Beniers achieved an impressive feat by scoring two goals on just two shots, boasting a 100 percent shooting accuracy. His overall performance over the last three games includes three goals, one assist, and a plus-minus rating of +1. His ability to find the back of the net while maintaining high efficiency makes him a player to watch in the upcoming game.


Another notable player is Jared McCann, who contributed significantly with one goal and two assists across three games. His consistent performance and playmaking ability have been crucial for the Kraken's offensive strategies.

Montreal Canadiens' Key Players


On the Montreal Canadiens' side, Nick Suzuki has been a standout performer. Suzuki managed to score three goals across three games while maintaining a shooting percentage of 20 percent against Philadelphia Flyers. His agility and sharpshooting skills make him a formidable opponent for any team.


Cole Caufield also deserves mention for his consistent performance, contributing two goals in recent matches with an impressive shooting accuracy. His speed and knack for being in the right place at the right time have made him an essential asset for the Canadiens.

Game Predictions


Given their recent performances, both teams have players capable of turning the game around single-handedly. However, with Matty Beniers' exceptional form and his ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities, he could very well be the difference-maker for Seattle Kraken. On the other hand, Nick Suzuki's leadership and scoring ability will undoubtedly pose a significant challenge for Kraken's defense.
