The Maple Leafs have bounced back in style lately as they have defeated the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames in their last two games. The team scored 10 goals in the process while conceding only six despite both games being played away from home.
Toronto Maple Leafs injuries
Mitch Marner, Anthony Stolarz, Jani Hakanpaa, Connor Dewar and Calle Jarnkrok are all sidelined for the Maple Leafs due to their ongoing injury crisis.
Seattle Kraken game preview
One victory in five games is not the kind of form the Kraken would want to find themselves in as they are set to play a team that has been fantastic in the attack. Seattle would look at the six goals the Maple Leafs have conceded in their last two games and replicate that with defensive stubbornness if it were to get a win.
Seattle Kraken injuries
Ryker Evans, Yanni Gourde and Jordan Eberle are all injured for the Kraken. The return date for the trio is yet to be determined.
Maple Leafs and Kraken key players
With leading points scorer Mitch Marner injured, the onus of points will fall upon the close second in William Nylander. The forward has already scored 33 goals and provided 22 assists since the start of the season.
Winger Jared McCann has been pivotal for the Kraken this season, scoring 14 goals and providing 28 assists. Chandler Stephenson closely follows him with 39 points in the first 54 games.
