The Seattle Kraken welcome the Calgary Flames to Climate Pledge Arena for a compelling Pacific Division matchup on Sunday night, with both teams looking to build momentum following recent victories.
The Kraken enter the contest fresh off an impressive 6-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks, where Joey Daccord continued his stellar form with a .929 save percentage performance, while the Flames are riding high after a convincing 4-1 win against the Anaheim Ducks.
Recent history between these teams has been tight, with Seattle claiming a narrow 2-1 overtime victory in their previous meeting this season.
The goaltending battle could prove decisive, as Seattle's Daccord brings a solid 2.43 GAA into the matchup, while Calgary will likely turn to Dan Vladar, who seeks to snap a challenging six-game winless streak.
Both teams have shown inconsistent scoring this season, with the Flames averaging 2.68 goals per game compared to the Kraken's 2.98, suggesting a potentially close defensive battle.
As these Pacific Division rivals prepare to face off, the outcome could have significant implications for both teams' positioning in the competitive Western Conference playoff race.
