The NHL schedule for next Monday, January 20th will offer a very good number of games to be disputed in both Conferences, and one of the firsts to be disputed corresponds to the clash between Seattle Kraken and Buffalo Sabres. These teams will clash at 03:00 pm CST at the Climate Pledge Arena, being worth noting that they aren’t expected to have a spectacular game as they’re two of the least competitive in their respective divisions.
On the one hand, Seattle Kraken is currently remarking as the second worst defensive in the Pacific Division with 150 conceded goals, however they won 3 out of their last 5 games, being the most remarkable ones the victories over Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins. In addition, the Kraken is expecting to show a dominant performance like the one they had against the Sabres last January 11th, when they defeated them 6-2.
On the other hand, Buffalo Sabres had a good recovery during their last games, but that wasn’t enough to take them out of the bottom in the Eastern Conference. With that in mind, it totally makes sense to note them as one of the worst defensive lines in the Atlantic Division after conceding 153 goals throughout the season. With that in mind, the importance of keeping a regular offensive from players like Tage Thompson and Jason Zucker is key.
