Seattle shows by no means the best hockey in the current campaign. For several seasons, we are used to seeing great results from the Kraken, and quite expect them in the playoffs. But now it's not going that way, as they are only 12th in the overall West standings with 42 points, and they need to improve. That's exactly what the team has been doing lately, as after a stretch of five straight losses, they've gotten two straight wins. First, Seattle defeated Vancouver in overtime (5:4), and then defeated Utah 5:2.

The Canucks are especially not looking good lately, having lost in five of their past six games. The team is bad, and to beat in this stretch it managed only San Jose with a score of 4:3. And after that, they lost to Seattle in overtime (4:5), and the day before lost to Calgary with a score of 1:3. Vancouver still can not get into the coveted playoff zone - in the general table of the Western Conference is located on the ninth position with 42 points in the asset.

Just recently, Seattle managed to beat Vancouver in Canada with a score of 5:4 in overtime. Moreover, the Kraken left with 1:4, having scored literally in five minutes immediately three pucks in a row. Obviously, the Canucks have been on a downward slide lately, losing five of their previous six games. Seattle, on the other hand, has added to their win streak by winning two games, so they will definitely be on a high and try to please their fans again. We think the home team will be able to please their fans and earn a couple points in this battle.
