Since that defeat, the Bruins have rallied with four consecutive wins, most recently shutting out the Detroit Red Wings 3-0, thanks to goals from Pavel Zacha, Fraser Minten, and Mark Kastelic. With a current record of 26-19-2, they are looking to complete a successful five-game homestand.
Conversely, the Kraken have struggled lately, losing three out of their last four games. Their most recent matchup on the road saw them fall to the New Jersey Devils, 3-2 in overtime. This game against the Bruins will be the fourth of a five-game road trip for Seattle, which currently holds a record of 21-15-9.
As the teams prepare to clash, the Bruins will be eager to continue their winning ways, while the Kraken will look to bounce back from their recent slump. The matchup promises to be an exciting contest for fans of both teams.
