Utah Comes to Climate Pledge Arena Looking to Stay Perfect Against Seattle
The Utah Mammoth roll into Seattle on Thursday night with one of the most lopsided head-to-head records you'll see in hockey. They're 3-0 against the Kraken in their last three meetings, outscoring Seattle 18-7, and they're looking to keep that streak alive at Climate Pledge Arena. The Mammoth sit in the top wild card spot with 82 points through 74 games, while the Kraken are clinging to 75 points with a game in hand. For Seattle, this is basically a must-win situation if they want to stay in the playoff conversation.
Utah's Offense Is Firing on All Cylinders
The Mammoth just hammered the LA Kings 6-2 on Saturday, and they're not slowing down. Their offense has been averaging 4.0 goals per game over their last four games, and they've cashed the Over in every single one of them. Utah has a plus-23 goal differential, which is fourth-best in the Western Conference. Right now, they're sitting four points ahead of the Kings for the second wild card spot, and they've got some room to breathe with teams like Nashville, Winnipeg, and San Jose all chasing them.

Seattle laid an absolute egg in Edmonton on Tuesday, getting shut out 3-0 as underdogs. Joey Daccord has allowed four goals in back-to-back games and is struggling hard with a 3.86 GAA and .843 save percentage in that span. He was worse in March overall, posting a 2-5-1 record with a 3.54 GAA and .880 save percentage. The offense couldn't generate anything against Edmonton, and that's a recurring problem.
The good news? The home team is 5-0 in the last five meetings between these two, and Seattle is at Climate Pledge Arena. Utah's Karel Vejmelka has been a little erratic lately too, going 5-4-1 with a 3.14 GAA in March. If the Kraken can get their offense going and lean on being at home, they've got a shot. But right now, Utah looks like the team with all the momentum.
Puck drops Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Hulu. This is the kind of game where Seattle's season could shift in one direction or another.
