Here Comes Edmonton's Hot Streak and the Kraken Need to Shut It Down Tuesday Night
The Oilers are rolling into Rogers Place with a three-game win streak, and the Kraken are about to get tested big time. Seattle heads to Edmonton on Tuesday night at 9 p.m. EDT to face a team that is absolutely clicking right now. This is the fourth matchup between these two Pacific Division rivals this season, and spoiler alert: Edmonton has owned the Kraken so far. The last time they played, the Oilers demolished Seattle 9-4, with Connor McDavid putting on a clinic with three goals. Yeah, three. That's the kind of stuff that keeps you up at night.
Edmonton's Machine Is Humming
Look at Edmonton's numbers and you'll see why they're dangerous. The Oilers sit at 37-28-9 overall with a +10 scoring differential, outscoring opponents 258-248. They're 19-13-4 at home in Rogers Place, which is legitimately one of the toughest barns in the league. Over their last 10 games, Edmonton is 6-3-1, averaging 3.1 goals while allowing 3.2 per game. McDavid is doing McDavid things, sitting on 42 goals and 82 assists. Evan Bouchard has been quietly putting up points too, with two goals and 11 assists over the past 10 games. The Oilers have injuries to deal with, sure (Leon Draisaitl is out with a lower-body injury, plus Colton Dach, Trent Frederic, and Mattias Janmark sidelined), but that hasn't stopped their momentum one bit.
Kraken Fighting Uphill
Seattle is struggling to find rhythm. The Kraken sit at 32-29-11 overall with a -13 scoring differential, having given up 218 goals while scoring only 205. That gap matters. In their last 10 games, Seattle is just 3-5-2, averaging 2.9 goals while giving up 3.2 per contest. Jordan Eberle is still carrying the load with 23 goals and 28 assists, but the team needs more production across the board. Bobby McMann has been one of the bright spots recently with seven goals and four assists over the past 10 games, yet it hasn't been enough to turn things around. The Kraken are 14-6-1 in Pacific Division play but need to start stringing wins together. Right now, they're sitting at 75 points, five back of Edmonton's 83.
Tuesday night at Rogers Place is a heavyweight matchup disguised as a mid-season game. Edmonton's firing on all cylinders while Seattle needs to find answers fast. This is the kind of moment that defines seasons.
