The Ottawa Senators bring their impressive three-game winning streak to Climate Pledge Arena as they face off against the Seattle Kraken in what promises to be an intriguing cross-conference matchup on Tuesday night.
The Senators have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL lately, winning seven of their last ten games while allowing just 2.3 goals per contest during that stretch, with Drake Batherson and Tim Stutzle leading their offensive charge.
The Kraken, meanwhile, have struggled to find consistency on home ice, dropping four of their last five games at Climate Pledge Arena while managing just one goal in their most recent outing against Tampa Bay.
Recent history favors the visitors, with Ottawa claiming victory in four of the past seven meetings between these teams, including a commanding 3-0 shutout in their last encounter.
The goaltending battle could prove decisive, as Ottawa's Linus Ullmark enters with a stellar .950 save percentage over his recent appearances, while Seattle's Joey Daccord looks to maintain his solid .916 save percentage for the season.
With both teams sitting at similar overall records but heading in opposite directions, this matchup presents a critical opportunity for each squad to make a statement as they approach the middle portion of the NHL season.
