San Jose Sharks vs. Seattle Kraken preview

The struggling San Jose Sharks host the Seattle Kraken at SAP Center Saturday night in what promises to be another high-scoring Pacific Division showdown, if their previous three meetings (which produced a whopping 27 goals) are anything to go by.

The Kraken enter this matchup with newfound confidence after demolishing Vancouver 5-0, a game where Joey Daccord secured his second shutout of the season and five different players found the back of the net.

San Jose, meanwhile, is mired in a four-game losing streak, most recently falling 3-2 to Edmonton despite a gutsy performance where they were outshot 38-29.

The Sharks' goaltending situation remains precarious with Alexandar Georgiev questionable due to an upper-body injury, potentially leaving rookie Georgi Romanov (0-3-0, 4.49 GAA) to mind the net against a Kraken offense that's finding its rhythm.

Seattle might be missing some firepower themselves, with center Jaden Schwartz and winger Eeli Tolvanen both questionable after sitting out the Vancouver game.

The season series stands at 2-1 in San Jose's favor, though Seattle claimed the most recent matchup with a convincing 6-2 victory.

With nothing but pride on the line – San Jose owns the NHL's worst record while Seattle sits well outside playoff contention – expect both teams to push forward aggressively rather than play it safe.

I've got a feeling we'll see Seattle's road momentum continue against a Sharks team that's surrendered a staggering 25 goals during their current four-game skid.
