Seattle will face another tough opponent as they head into the home of the current Stanley Cup champions in Colorado. This is a tough opponent, but there are opportunities for success as well as areas to shore up as the Kraken ready for the task ahead.
Let's look at the upcoming matchup by the numbers:
- Since inception, the Kraken have been known for their defensive ability. One thing to watch is that while the team is limiting shots attempts against at an impressive rate (29.2 per game, 8th best in the NHL), they are allowing more quality against (3.20 expected goals per game, 19th in the NHL). This will change the challenge for defenders and goaltenders alike.
