The NHL power rankings have been shaken up recently with the Seattle Kraken making a big move up the standings. After two consecutive victories, the Kraken have risen to the top of the rankings and are now one of the top teams in the league.
The Kraken have been on a roll since their debut in 2021, but their recent success has been especially impressive. In their first two games, they defeated the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, two of the top teams in the league. This has propelled them to the top of the power rankings and they are now considered one of the best teams in the NHL.
The Kraken have been led by their star players, including forwards J.T. Miller and Tyler Johnson. Miller has been a force on offense, leading the team in points with seven in two games. Johnson has also been impressive, scoring four goals in those two games. The Kraken have also received strong goaltending from veteran netminder Thomas Greiss, who has allowed just two goals in two games.
The Kraken have also been bolstered by their strong defense. Led by captain Erik Gudbranson and alternate captain Radko Gudas, the Kraken have allowed just three goals in two games. This has been a major factor in their success and is a testament to their defensive system.
The Seattle Kraken have certainly made an impressive start to their inaugural season and they look poised to continue their success. With their strong offense, defense, and goaltending, they are sure to be a force to be reckoned with in the NHL for years to come. It will be interesting to see how far they can go this season and if they can maintain their spot atop the power rankings.
