The Kraken have one win in their past 11 games after they failed to dispatch the Calgary Flames in a 4-2 loss on Thursday night.
The Kraken's only win in their past 11 games was a 3-2 overtime victory against the visiting Los Angeles Kings on Dec. 10.

The Seattle Kraken’s recent struggles continued Sunday night with a 3-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, who picked up their third straight win.
Seattle’s season has been defined by inconsistency. The Kraken sit at 12-14-6, eighth in the Pacific Division, and average just 2.47 goals per game. Defensive lapses and a league-worst 68.5% penalty kill have erased solid five-on-five play. Scoring depth remains thin behind Jordan Eberle and Vince Dunn.
