Kraken Seek a Spark on Offense as They Head to Boston

Can the Kraken Offense Reignite?

After back-to-back losses where goals were hard to come by, the Kraken know they need a jolt offensively. Facing a Bruins team that also hasn’t had the smoothest start, the Kraken have a chance to capitalize. Both teams have the same record coming into tonight, and Boston will likely have Jeremy Swayman in net after he was pulled in his last game against Carolina. Seattle’s offense will need to bring pressure, hoping to keep Swayman on his heels and potentially find success as they did in high-scoring wins over Nashville and Montreal.

Goaltending Remains a Bright Spot

Despite the Kraken’s recent struggles, their goaltending has been surprisingly consistent. In the last three games, Seattle’s netminders have combined for a solid .914 save percentage and a 2.41 goals-against average—slightly better than their season averages of .903 and 3.08, respectively, which rank among the top 12 in the NHL. This consistency has been crucial in keeping the Kraken competitive, even when offensive production has lagged. With Joey Daccord likely in net tonight, Seattle will need another steady performance to limit Boston’s scoring opportunities.

Who Will Step Up?

The Kraken’s top line of Jared McCann, Matty Beniers, and Jordan Eberle has been productive, accounting for 13 of Seattle’s goals this season. However, the second line hasn’t found its stride, producing only 3 goals so far. To spark the offense, it may be time to give more opportunities to the guys like Eeli Tolvanen, Shane Wright, and Oliver Bjorkstrand who have combined for 8 goals.
These players have shown flashes of creativity and finishing ability, and additional ice time could help them build momentum. The Kraken need more than just their top line producing, so look for potential shifts tonight that could allow Seattle’s third line to make an impact against Boston.
