Having extended their win streak to four games with a shutout of the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday, the Chicago Blackhawks will look to beat the Seattle Kraken for the second time and extend their winning streak to five.
The Kraken, having fallen all the way to the bottom of the Pacific division (some of us predicted they’d be a playoff team), enter on a nine-game losing streak.
Not a lot’s going right in Seattle currently, as the Kraken have scored 99 goals — there are teams with far fewer — but have allowed 136 in 37 games, the second-most in the NHL so far this season (only Arizona has allowed more and they’re trying to allow more).
