Blackhawks Looking to Bounce Back
The Chicago Blackhawks, playing at a good level up to this point as they are in fifth place in the Central Division with a 5-4-3 record early on, face a team that is playing at a strong level so far as well. Their recent game on the road against the Oilers, a 3-2 overtime loss, reflects a team that can get close but struggles to finish off to win. Center Connor Bedard is leading the franchise with 15 points (six goals, nine assists). The Blackhawks are healthy as they are only dealing with three injuries, as Jason Dickinson is listed as questionable.
Chicago’s offensive output has been mediocre thus far, with the team in 17th place in the league for goals scored, averaging 3.17 goals per game. The Blackhawks’ power play, operating at an 18.9% success rate, and their penalty kill at 82.0%, highlight areas of the game that have been stepping up as the season continues to get going.
Goaltending is a place where they need to see some improvement, with backup goaltender Arvid Soderblom looking to continue improving, as he struggled with a 1-1-1 record while averaging 3.01 goals allowed per game and a .888 save percentage. This team needs to continue playing well offensively if the team wants to record a win here.
Injury Report for Chicago
- Center Jason Dickinson: Shoulder (Questionable)
- Goalie Laurent Brossoit: Hip (OUT)
- Defenseman Shea Weber: Ankle (OUT)

Kraken Looking to Keep Adding Points
The Seattle Kraken, positioned in third place in the Pacific Division with a 5-2-4 record, head into this game looking to rack up points and climb up the standings. The latest game against the New York Rangers at home 3-2, was an overtime loss as they won just 37.9% of their faceoffs.
Offensively, Seattle has been doing a poor job at finding the back of the net, averaging 2.73 goals per game, which is tied with the Philadelphia Flyers for 24th in the sport. The Kraken’s power play has been at a respectable level, converting at a 21.9% clip, showcasing their ability to take advantage of their opponent’s mistakes. The defensive side of the ice is showcasing the team’s ability to lead to even more wins.
On the goaltending front, backup goaltender Philipp Grubauer is going to need to continue improving in the net for this game as he is 0-0-1 with a .897 save percentage and 2.12 goals allowed per game.
Injury Report for Seattle
- Defenseman Ryker Evans: Upper Body (OUT)
- Left winger Jared McCann: Lower Body (OUT)
- Center Frederick Gaudreau: Upper Body (OUT)
