Game Preview: Kraken vs. Predators
As the Seattle Kraken prepare to face the Nashville Predators, there's no denying the uphill battle they face. Despite a recent two-game winning streak, the Kraken's performances against the St.
Louis Blues and Ottawa Senators left much to be desired. Their defensive struggles have been evident, and they remain in a playoff spot, but confidence in their ability to maintain it is waning.
The Kraken's defensive structure has been shaky, and they've struggled to control the play. However, this matchup against the Predators presents an opportunity for redemption.
Nashville has been controlling a significant portion of the shot share but finds themselves at 29th in the league for Goals-For-Percentage. This makes them a potential target for a "get-right" game for Seattle.
Key to the Kraken's success will be their ability to contain Luke Evangelista and find a way past Juuse Saros, Nashville's formidable goaltender. If they can address these challenges, Seattle stands a chance to regain their footing and restore some confidence in their playoff aspirations.
