Game Preview
The Kraken are back in the winning column, and things look like they’re getting back on track! The injured Jamie Oleksiak is practicing in a regular sweater, so they’re due for some reinforcements in the near future. Which is good! Because the road after the Meal is gonna be a little tougher than you’d like, and they’re gonna be facing a Sharks squad today that are coming off of something they haven’t had much of since the year started: a win.
The Sharks are a team that struggles to do a lot of things lately, but one thing they seem to be fairly good at, if nothing else, is getting high-danger chances, currently sitting at 8th overall in the league at high-danger shot attempts for percentage, and leading that charge is the redeemed Erik Karlsson, back from the ageless earth to stunt on these young men who declared him dead on arrival. That said, they aren’t getting the goaltending nor the team defense to back it up like the Kraken are, so this could be either a tight matchup like the last couple of games have been…or over far before it begins.
Either way, it should be a fun contest! We’ll see if the Kraken can keep the puck moving at 7!
