In what is always a spectacle, the Seattle Kraken will host the Anaheim Ducks with a pair of vital points on the line.
The Seattle Kraken will host the Anaheim Ducks in a vital Pacific Division showdown.
The two teams are separated by two points for third place in the division, although the Ducks have played one more game than the Kraken. The Ducks enter tonight’s game on a five-game win streak, while the Kraken are coming off an end to their four-game losing streak.
Tonight’s contest marks the third time the Kraken and the Ducks have faced off, with the Kraken winning the two previous encounters 3-1. The two teams are set to meet once more after tonight’s game. The fixture will be the Kraken’s second-to-last game before the Olympic break.
The Kraken’s lineup is staying relatively the same since their 4-1 win over the New York Islanders. Philipp Grubauer will be in the net, and Jacob Melanson will step into the lineup for the recently injured Ben Meyers.
