The Vegas Golden Knights (21-8-3) welcome the Seattle Kraken (15-17-2) to T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night in what promises to be an intriguing Pacific Division matchup.
The defending Stanley Cup champions are riding high with victories in six of their last seven games, while allowing two or fewer goals in all six of those wins.
The Kraken, meanwhile, enter the contest on a concerning three-game losing streak, having managed to score just two goals during that span.
Vegas's impressive home record of 12-3-0 stands in stark contrast to Seattle's road performance of 7-9-0, with the Golden Knights' Jack Eichel leading their offensive charge with 42 points on the season.
These teams have already met once this season, with Seattle claiming a 4-3 overtime victory on November 8, suggesting the Kraken know how to compete against their division rivals despite their recent struggles.
As these Pacific Division foes prepare to face off at T-Mobile Arena, both teams' contrasting momentum and recent defensive performances could prove decisive in determining the outcome of this highly anticipated matchup.
