The Detroit Red Wings look to extend their impressive six-game winning streak as they host the Seattle Kraken at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Wings have been on fire offensively, scoring 25 goals during their six-game surge while climbing to fifth place in the Atlantic Division with a 19-18-4 record.
Led by the dynamic trio of Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, and Dylan Larkin, who have combined for 52 goals and 62 assists this season, Detroit's offense has found its rhythm at the perfect time.
The Kraken, meanwhile, enter the contest struggling with just three wins in their last ten games and sit near the bottom of the Pacific Division with an 18-22-3 record.
Seattle's offensive woes have been particularly concerning, averaging only 2.83 goals per game and managing just 12 goals in their last four outings.
With both teams heading in opposite directions and the Red Wings' home-ice advantage potentially playing a crucial factor, this cross-conference matchup promises to deliver an intriguing afternoon of hockey at Little Caesars Arena.
