SEATTLE — The Seattle Kraken face off against the Carolina Hurricanes in its ninth game of the season on Saturday night.
The game is taking place at 7 p.m. at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.
The game will be broadcast on KONG and Kraken Hockey Network. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m.
What to expect from the Kraken
The Kraken will wrap up its five-game homestand Saturday before it heads on the road for five games in seven days.
Left-wing Jared McCann paces the Kraken with nine points (four goals, five assists).
What to expect from the Hurricanes
The Hurricanes fell short of its expectations last season after finishing with 111 points, the third-most in the National Hockey League (NHL).
Carolina, which was eliminated in the second round of the postseason, is still one of the bigger favorites to contend for the Stanley Cup this time around.
