SAINT PAUL -- The Kraken will look to string together three straight wins as they head to Minnesota to battle an injured Wild squad. With key forwards out of the lineup, The Athletic'sMichael Russo reported yesterday that Minnesota will play with 11 forwards and 7 defenders in the lineup compared to the traditional six and 12 split. Even with that change, this will be a game for Seattle's offense to take advantage of while focusing defensively on protecting the space in front of their goaltender.
