The Kraken, Seattle’s newest NHL team, are embarking on a six-game road trip during their season-high streak. After a slow start to the season, the Kraken have been on a tear, winning eight of their last ten games. This impressive streak has put them in the thick of the playoff race in the Pacific Division.
The six-game road trip will take the Kraken to some of the toughest arenas in the NHL. They will face off against the Arizona Coyotes, Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks, and Vegas Golden Knights. All five teams are currently in playoff contention and will provide a stern test for the Kraken.
The Kraken have been playing some of their best hockey of the season during this streak. They have been getting strong goaltending from veteran netminder Braden Holtby, who has been a rock in the crease. The defense has been playing well too, limiting opponents to just two goals per game during this stretch.
The offense has been led by captain and leading scorer, Brayden Point. Point has been on fire lately, scoring eight goals and adding seven assists in his last ten games. He is currently tied for fourth in the NHL in points with 33. He is joined by fellow forwards J.T. Miller and Tyler Johnson who have also been producing at a high level.
The Kraken will need to continue their strong play if they want to make the playoffs this season. This road trip will be a great opportunity for them to prove that they can compete against some of the best teams in the NHL. If they can come away with a few wins, it could be a huge boost to their playoff chances.
It will be an exciting few weeks for the Kraken and their fans as they embark on this six-game road trip. With a strong showing, they could find themselves in a great position to make the playoffs this season.
