The Seattle Kraken and Vancouver Canucks are set to meet for the fourth and final time this season on Saturday night. The Canucks claimed the first meeting back on December 29, with the Kraken winning the next 2 matchups on January 2 and February 28. Heading into the series finale between these Pacific Division teams, the Kraken have dropped 4 games in a row and have been bumped from the Western Conference playoff picture. Trailing the Kings by 2 points for the final wild-card spot in the West, look for the Kraken to enter this matchup with a heightened sense of urgency. They handled the Canucks easily 5-1 in their last meeting — and despite their recent skid, they should enter this matchup with confidence.

Neither of these teams light up the scoreboard offensively, but the Kraken own the edge defensively. The Canucks are allowing an NHL-high 3.68 goals per game, whereas the Kraken are 12th by giving up 2.98. Seattle plays a much more stingy defensive style of play, which should be able to stymie a Vancouver team that is scoring the second-fewest goals per game in the league at 2.52. Furthermore, the Canucks have struggled on home ice all season. They are just 7-20-5 at Rogers Arena and have just 1 win over their last 6 home games. With so much more to play for, let’s back the Kraken on the road.
