Trending
Kraken had a terrible last season, where they only managed 27 wins and 49 losses. They finished last, something they would look to improve on this time. They conceded 285 goals, scoring only 216. There is a clear problem with offense and defense. Kraken is a new team with a new rebranding that came into existence in the 2021-2022 season.
Anaheim, meanwhile, was not far away from Seattle in terms of their performance. They finished a position above them, second-last in the division. Their overall season record was a disappointing 31-37. The Ducks are six-time division champions, two-time conference champions, and one-time winners of the Stanley Cup.
Both teams had pretty average pre-season, so it's difficult to say if there have been any improvements or not. However, it surely promises to be a great night of entertaining ice hockey.
