On paper, the Kraken aren’t the type of team to generate an abundant amount of shots on goal with the seventh-fewest in the league, but this could be a recipe for success if they come out a little more aggressive offensively. On the other side of things, the Kraken’s elite goaltending play this season has been tough to beat as former Avalanche net-minders Phillip Grubauer and Martin Jones boast the third-best record of any goalie in the league. Without a doubt, squaring off with a high-octane offense like the Oilers will be a non-easy task and whoever is in net for the Kraken will need to stand on his head to get the job done.

Trying to follow the formula of another recent NHL expansion franchise in the Vegas Golden Knights who have become a playoff threat year in and year out, the Kraken are certainly well on their way. All in all, Seattle will benefit greatly if they can bounce back from scoring only once against Tampa Bay if they can find a way to generate more shots on goal. With only 23 shots on net in yesterday’s defeat, Seattle needs to pepper the goalie with a plethora of shots with the hope that a few can sneak by whoever is in net for Edmonton.
