For the third time this season, The Kraken will face a team playing in the second game of a back-to-back. This time, it's Los Angeles that will be traveling to Seattle after a game Friday in Vancouver. That doesn't mean this matchup will be any less challenging. The Kings are riding a red-hot 7-2-1 record across the last ten games. They also still play that stifling 1-3-1 in the neutral zone that quiets opponents' transition game and makes skaters work harder to get into the attack zone. That will be an interesting challenge for a Kraken squad that has become the fourth-best team in terms of generating scoring chances off the rush.
Let's look at the upcoming matchup by the numbers:
