The first game in the NHL schedule for next Sunday, January 12th corresponds to the clash between Detroit Red Wings and Seattle Kraken, teams that will clash at 02:00 pm CST, and even when Detroit is considered as the favorite to win, Seattle cannot be discarded at all. However, it’s important to remark that the Kraken played less than 24 hours before the kickoff of this game, so they could be exhausted for this confrontation.

In this regard, Detroit Red Wings have a streak of 6 victories in a row, however it’s well known that extending this kind of victorious streaks is a very complicated challenge for any team in the league. In addition, the Red Wings have been conceding 2 or more goals per game since last November 2024, so it’s a must for this team to increase its defensive effectiveness.

Meanwhile, Seattle Kraken has just cut off a streak of 4 losses in a row after their impressive victory over Buffalo Sabres (2-6), a game in which they showed a great character after losing the first period, 2-0. For that game, the participation of Andre Burakovsky and Jaden Schwartz was key, as both players shot 5 times on target.
