The Seattle Kraken will make their third stop on a four-game road trip on Saturday, facing the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena.
The road trip has produced mixed results for Seattle so far. The team lost to the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 on Tuesday night, but Thursday's 3-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks will give Lane Lambert's side some momentum heading into Saturday's game.
Seattle had a tough time keeping up with Chicago for most of the night, but they stunned the hosts by scoring three goals in the third period. Lambert's team has been averaging only 2.70 goals per game this season, making this turn of events at the United Center very unexpected.
The Kraken also allow 2.70 goals per game, and on Saturday night, they face another good defensive team. The Penguins have recorded three shutouts this season and boast a 2.47 goals-against average.
With veteran stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin still going strong, the Penguins also hold an impressive scoring record of 3.26 goals per game. The team has massively benefited from its incredible power play, converting over 34 percent of its opportunities.
Seattle has the third-worst penalty kill in the league at 69.8 percent, and improving it will be a key for the visitors on Saturday night.

Our Seattle Kraken vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction
Beating the Blackhawks is no mean feat this season, and Seattle also recently showed quality by defeating the Winnipeg Jets. The team has been strong on defense, making it difficult for every opposition.
The Penguins have performed well this season; however, they will face a disadvantage on Saturday night against the Kraken, as it will be their second game in a back-to-back situation.
Pittsburgh has struggled in this matchup since Seattle joined the league, and playing on consecutive nights will make it even harder for them to win.
Our prediction for Seattle Kraken vs. Pittsburgh Penguins: Kraken to win.
