Calgary Flames vs. Seattle Kraken preview

The Flames are riding high on momentum as they welcome the Kraken to the Scotiabank Saddledome, fresh off an impressive Eastern road swing where they snagged three straight wins.

While Calgary's offense has been their Achilles' heel this season (sitting dead last in goals per game), they've found their groove lately, putting up nine goals in their last two outings with Matt Coronato heating up at just the right time.

The Kraken, meanwhile, are stumbling through their road trip, dropping their last two games including a tough 5-4 loss to Edmonton where Kaapo Kakko's two-goal effort wasn't quite enough to get them over the line.

These Pacific Division rivals have kept things tight in their previous matchups this season, with Seattle holding a slight edge after grabbing two overtime victories in their three meetings.

The goaltending battle could be the difference-maker tonight - Calgary's Dustin Wolf has been rock-solid with a .911 save percentage, while Seattle's Joey Daccord has held his own despite facing heavy pressure most nights.

The Flames' playoff hopes are still flickering, sitting just four points out of the final wild card spot, which adds extra spice to this divisional clash.

Keep an eye on Jonathan Huberdeau, who's finding his playmaking touch again after dishing out three points in Calgary's last outing, though the Kraken will be hoping Chandler Stephenson can shake off his injury concerns to suit up.

With both teams missing key forwards and their recent history of tight games, expect another close-checking affair where every bounce could make the difference.
