Seattle Kraken
The Seattle Kraken are playing in their second game in as many nights, and are on the road for this one. While it was a short road trip from Seattle to Vancouver, the rest advantage goes to Vancouver, who hasn’t played since Tuesday and has been home since then.
Seattle is coming off a solid 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators, and the team is 5-0-1 in its last six games. The Kraken are now just five points from first place in the Pacific Division with three games in hand over the leading Edmonton Oilers.
Vancouver Canucks
After a four-game winning streak on the heels of the Quinn Hughes trade, the Canucks have gone 1-3 since the Christmas break. They’re banged up and reeling. Connor Garland, Marco Rossi, Filip Chytil, Teddy Blueger, and Derek Forbort, will all be out of the lineup.
Rossi was placed on the injured reserve with a lower-body injury on Friday. He left Tuesday’s game and didn’t return. The club’s new first-line center had just one goal and one assist in eight games with the Canucks before hitting the shelf.
