The Calgary Flames (26-21-7) will host the Seattle Kraken (23-29-4) at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday night in a crucial Pacific Division matchup that could have playoff implications.
Both teams enter the contest looking to reverse their recent fortunes, with the Flames dropping their last two home games while the Kraken arrive in Calgary amid a concerning three-game losing streak.
The teams have already split their previous two meetings this season, with Calgary securing a tight 3-2 victory in their most recent encounter just last Sunday in Seattle.
The goaltending battle could prove decisive, as Flames netminder Dan Vladar may get the start after a strong showing in their last matchup, while Seattle's Joey Daccord looks to improve upon his recent 0-2-1 record and 3.34 GAA in February.
The Flames' defensive prowess, allowing 2.98 goals per game, could be the determining factor against a Kraken offense that has struggled to find consistency, scoring two or fewer goals in four of their last eight outings.
As these Pacific Division rivals prepare to face off for the third time this season, both teams recognize the importance of securing crucial points in the tight Western Conference playoff race.
