Kyle Connor's Two-Goal Night Sets Up Kraken's Tough Road Test in Winnipeg
The Seattle Kraken are heading to Canada to face the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night, and they're walking into a team that just got hot. Kyle Connor potted two goals in the Jets' 2-1 win over Columbus, and now the Kraken have to deal with a Winnipeg squad sitting at 33-31-12 overall with an 18-14-6 record at home. This is the third matchup between these two teams this season, and the stakes are different this time around.
Seattle's Road Woes Keep Piling Up
The Kraken are 15-16-6 away from home this season, and their overall record of 32-32-11 shows a team that's been treading water for much of the year. The good news? When Seattle puts three or more goals on the board, they're nearly unstoppable, sitting at 30-7-4 in those games. The problem is they haven't been scoring enough consistently lately. Over their last 10 games, the Kraken are averaging just 2.5 goals per game while allowing 3.3, and they're just 2-6-2 in that stretch.

The Jets have a minus-15 scoring differential with 213 goals scored and 228 conceded, which tells you everything about their struggle to stay consistent. That said, they've been better recently, going 5-3-2 in their last 10 games while averaging 2.6 goals and 4.5 assists per contest. Mark Scheifele leads the way with 34 goals and 60 assists for the season. Connor's been heating up too, with five goals and seven assists over his last 10 games.
For the Kraken, Kaapo Kakko has been a bright spot, scoring four goals and adding eight assists over his past 10 games. The Kraken's captain Jordan Eberle remains a threat after scoring twice in Seattle's 5-3 win against Winnipeg earlier this season.
Monday's puck drop at Canada Life Centre goes at 7:30 p.m. EDT. This is a chance for Seattle to prove their home victory earlier in the season wasn't a fluke, but they'll have to do it on the road against a Jets team that's playing better hockey right now.
