After an extremely boring day of no hockey last night, the NHL is back with 13 games on their slate, including the San Jose Sharks meeting with the 32nd franchise in the NHL, the Seattle Kraken, at SAP Center.
The Kraken’s inaugural season has been a bit underwhelming. The franchise came into the year with expectations of competing for a playoff spot in the Pacific Division after being heavy spenders at the Expansion Draft and Free Agency; however, a lack of goaltending and special teams has led to their demise. They rank last in the division, with a 9-15-3 record.
