The last time these two saw each other back on Dec. 2, the Senators walked away with the 2-0 victory, their first shut out of the season. Looking to rebound from a tough game against Vancouver on Tuesday, the Senators will look to re-establish what they had during their last meeting at Canadian Tire Centre.

The Senators come into this contest having gone 3-7-0 in their last ten. While the results haven't gone their way it certainly hasn't been for a lack of offence, averaging 3.50 goals over that stretch. While they will look to tighten up their defending as a group of five, the Senators will look to build on that hot scoring touch. Led by Brady Tkachuk (16), Drake Batherson (14), Josh Norris (12), and Claude Giroux (10) all in double digit for goals this season, the Senators will need to find a way to start strong tonight.

The goal differential may lead one to think that the Kraken are an easier team to beat than they are in reality. After a slow start this season, the Kraken have certainly found their footing, riding a nine-game point streak and having gone 7-1-2 over their last ten. Led by stellar defenceman Vince Dunn with 31 points and Jared McCann leading the way with 14 goals, this Seattle team can find a way to score.

By the numbers

Interim head coach Jacques Martin mentioned in his pre-game media that Jacob Bernard-Docker will come out of the line-up and that Zack MacEwen will be unavailable due to illness.

Hear from Martin and defenceman Jakob Chychrun ahead of tonight's game against Seattle at Climate Pledge Arena:

Joonas Korpisalo gets the starts in net tonight as Jiri Smejkal and Angus Crookshank re-enter the line-up. Jake Sanderson also will be lining up on the right side with Jakob Chychrun as his defensive partner by the looks of it.
