Seattle Kraken (5-2, in the Pacific Division) vs. Tampa Bay Lightning (4-2, in the Atlantic Division)Tampa, Florida; Thursday, 7 p.
The Seattle Kraken and Tampa Bay Lightning are set to clash in a matchup that will determine whether the Kraken can maintain their impressive three-game winning streak. The Kraken, who have won four of their last five games, are currently in fifth place in the league with 28 total goals, averaging 4.0 goals per game. The Lightning, on the other hand, have won their last four games and are 3-0-0 at home.
This will be the first time these teams have faced each other this season. The Kraken have been strong on the road, going 4-1-0 on their travels, while the Lightning have looked solid defensively, allowing fewer penalty minutes than their opponents in their last three games. Seattle's injuries are making it tough for them, with Ryan Lindgren, Jake O'Brien, and Jacob Melanson all sidelined with upper and lower-body injuries.
The Lightning also face some challenges, as Dennis Hildeby is listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, while Yanni Gourde is out with a hip issue. With these factors in mind, the Kraken aim to keep their winning streak alive against a tough Lightning team.
