Recent Performances


The Seattle Kraken have had a mixed bag of results in their last few outings. A close loss against the Kings showed resilience, with a solid defensive effort but just falling short offensively. However, they bounced back with a commanding win over the Predators, showcasing their ability to dominate both ends of the ice. This victory was characterized by an impressive offensive display and a shutout from their goaltender, highlighting potential keys to success against the Ducks.


On the other hand, their subsequent game saw them unable to find the net against the Rangers, despite generating numerous scoring opportunities. This inconsistency in converting chances into goals could be an area of concern that needs addressing if they are to overcome Anaheim.

Key Factors for Success


For Seattle Kraken, maintaining strong goaltending will be crucial. Their ability to keep opponents at bay has been evident in games where they've managed to limit goal concessions significantly. Additionally, enhancing faceoff win percentages and capitalizing on powerplay opportunities could turn tight games in their favor.


The venue also plays a significant role; Climate Pledge Arena has been a fortress for Seattle on numerous occasions. The home crowd's energy can undoubtedly give them an extra boost and potentially intimidate visiting teams.
