The Kraken head to Pittsburgh to face a Penguins team that has lost six games in a row (0-5-1). The last time that happened, was January 2006. But it's hard to know what Seattle will face as they head into PPG Paints Arena. Is it a talented but wounded team that is struggling to put all the pieces together, or, is it a group of players who know how to win ready to channel frustration into standings points? The reality is that either way, the Penguins are still an offensive threat with a defense that has some strengths and some areas in which Seattle may be able to capitalize because a lot of Pittsburgh's underlying measures are trending down at the moment.
Let's look at the upcoming matchup by the numbers:
