Buffalo comes to Seattle riding a wave of success after beating all three teams (Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver) on their tour of Western Canada. The visiting team boasts a cadre of young talent along with strong goaltending that has propelled their winning ways. They have only lost once in this young season, a game two loss to Florida on Oct. 15 and are currently in the top five in the NHL in terms of both goals for and goals against. But no team is unbeatable. What will the Kraken need to focus on to fight for a win?
Let's look at the upcoming matchup by the numbers:
