The Kraken sit sixth in the Pacific Division, 18 points behind the Oilers. However, that stat would not make the Oilers favorites to win this game.
The Kraken come into this game in fine form. They would hope that form can propel them into a competitive place for a potential playoff stage of the campaign when the regular season ends.
