The Edmonton Oilers look to continue their dominance over the Seattle Kraken as they host their Pacific Division rivals at Rogers Place on Monday night, with Connor McDavid returning from his three-game suspension.
The Oilers have been nearly unstoppable against Seattle, winning nine of their last ten meetings, including seven consecutive victories and a recent 4-2 road win on January 4.
Edmonton enters the contest leading the Pacific Division with a 31-15-3 record, while Seattle (22-25-3) aims to climb from their sixth-place position and narrow the 18-point gap between the teams.
The Oilers have demonstrated impressive form at home with a 17-8-1 record, while the Kraken have struggled on the road, posting a 10-14-0 mark away from Climate Pledge Arena.
Both teams come into the matchup with recent victories, as Edmonton defeated Buffalo 3-2 and Seattle topped Pittsburgh 4-1 in their previous outings.
With McDavid's return bolstering an already potent Oilers offense that ranks sixth in the league with 3.31 goals per game, this Pacific Division showdown promises to be an intriguing battle between two teams heading in different directions.
