The Kraken continue their push for the playoffs as they face Edmonton for the final time this season Tuesday, March 31.<\/p>\n
EDMONTON, AB \u2014 The Seattle Kraken<\/a> close out their season series against the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday night.<\/p>\n The puck drops in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at 6 p.m. Pacific Tuesday, March 31. The game will be broadcast on KONG with pregame coverage starting at 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n Here is what you need to know about Tuesday night\u2019s game:<\/p>\n
This is the fourth and final time the Kraken will face Edmonton this season.<\/p>\n Edmonton is currently on a three-game winning streak for only the second time this season. Meanwhile, the Kraken are coming off a shootout loss to the Buffalo Sabres.<\/p>\n One place where the Kraken can really shine this game is their goaltending.<\/p>\n Kraken goaltenders Joey Daccord and Philipp Grubauer continue to be one of the strongest tandems in the league. Daccord currently sits at a .901 save percentage while Grubauer has .911.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Edmonton\u2019s goaltending struggles have become more and more apparent as the season has gone on.<\/p>\n In December, they traded longtime starting goaltender Stuart Skinner to the Pittsburgh Penguins for netminder Tristan Jarry. Since then, Jarry has garnered a .856 save percentage with 4.01 average goals against.<\/p>\n Connor Ingram has now become their main guy with a .893 save percentage this season. He\u2019s started seven of their last ten games.<\/p>\n But a team with star forward Connor McDavid will always perform well. McDavid leads the league in points with 124.<\/p>\n Edmonton is just three points behind the Anaheim Ducks in the Pacific Division. They are 6-3-1 in their last ten and most of those games have been without their second best scorer forward Leon Draisaitl.<\/p>\n Draisaitl sustained a lower-body injury two weeks ago and is expected to be out for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Kraken forward Bobby McMann continues to be stellar since joining the team at the trade deadline. He has goals in his last three games and has 11 points in eight games.<\/p>\n He\u2019s one of the fastest players in the league who uses that speed to get him to the front of the net and score goals. If he keeps it up, the Kraken should be in a good position as they make their push for the playoffs.<\/p>\n His linemates Chandler Stephenson and Kaapo Kakko have also been benefitting as they enter Tuesday\u2019s game with points in consecutive games.<\/p>\n
