The Seattle Kraken will host the Colorado Avalanche tonight with their three-game win streak on the line.
The Seattle Kraken will host the Colorado Avalanche tonight with their three-game win streak on the line.
The Kraken are 4-2-0 on the season, winning their last three games against the Nashville Predators, Philadelphia Flyers and the Calgary Flames. The Avalanche started the season off with four consecutive losses but back-to-back wins against the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks, have steadied the ship and they are hoping to go on a run.
The Kraken will be without Vince Dunn as he was placed on the LTIR last night after he suffered a mid-body injury against the Flyers. Cale Fleury was called up as his replacement and will be a healthy scratch. Josh Mahura will play his fourth game of the season and Ryker Evans will look to keep his strong start to the season going as he continues to enjoy an increased role.
The Avalanche's goaltending has been shaky to put it lightly and will be in tough against a Kraken team that has been scoring goals at a high rate. Jared McCann and Jordan Eberle have been leading the way offensively but the depth scoring has been a key part of the Kraken's success.

McCann-Wright-Eberle
Schwartz-Stephenson-Bjorkstrand
