In their latest matchup against the Boston Bruins, the Kraken emerged victorious with a 4-1 win. Their offensive line was firing on all cylinders, netting four goals from 26 shots—a commendable shooting percentage of fifteen percent. The defense was equally impressive, blocking 17 shots and allowing only one goal against them. This victory was underpinned by a solid faceoff win percentage of fifty-two percent and an effective power play that capitalized on one out of two opportunities.

The game prior saw the Kraken secure another win in a shootout against the New York Islanders after finishing regulation and overtime tied at one apiece. Despite struggling in faceoffs—winning only thirty-three percent—the team's defensive efforts shone through with an impressive total of 29 blocked attempts and stellar goaltending that conceded just one goal from twenty-seven shots.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Seattle as they faced defeat before these two wins. Against the New Jersey Devils, they managed to score only once from twenty-eight shots while conceding three goals. Their penalty kill faced significant pressure but held firm by not allowing any powerplay goals despite being outnumbered five times.

Looking ahead to their encounter with Pittsburgh, maintaining strong defensive discipline will be crucial for Seattle. They'll need to improve their faceoff performance and capitalize on powerplay situations more consistently if they want to keep up their winning momentum.
