Seattle continues to make desperate attempts to reach the playoffs, but it is hard to believe in the success of the Kraken, which is too good for their direct competitors in the fight for the Cup Eight. At the same time, they've been in pretty good shape lately. They had a rough first half of the regular season, but they've only lost four of their last 11 games and won seven. The night before, Dave Hakstol's team hosted Winnipeg at the Climate Pleasure Arena and lost 3:0 after allowing all three goals in the third period. They now sit in tenth place in the Western Conference.

At the very edge of the playoffs is Vegas, the reigning Stanley Cup champion, and the Knights started the current regular season in championship fashion, scoring 23 out of 24 possible points in the first 12 meetings. It seemed they would once again be among the NHL leaders, but gradually, their results went down. The reason for this was numerous injuries to leading players and a weak attitude in some games, in which they had to collect points even without many leaders. In the last nine meetings, Vegas beat only Toronto and Detroit - 6:2 and 5:3, because they are now located only on the eighth line in the standings of the Western Conference.

Seattle and Vegas have suddenly become rivals for the Cup, with the Kraken in tenth place in the Western Conference standings and the Knights in eighth. A solid eight points separate the two, but a win for the Kraken could reignite the intrigue. Bruce Cassidy's wards have the experience and skill to pull off the upset, and the statistics are in their favor, having won eight of the last ten friendlies.

The confrontation between Seattle and Vegas has not yet been played for a long time, but the trends are already apparent. The rivals are playing cautiously and closed, so there are not so many goals. The opponents have scored a total of 53 goals in ten games played (5.30 average per game), and in the previous four battles, there were only 17 shots on goal (4.25 average per game), and each time there was a bookmaker' low, with at least one of the teams scoring less than two goals.
