The Seattle Kraken host the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday in Seattle.

SEATTLE — The Seattle Kraken host the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday, Nov. 3, in Seattle. 

The puck drops at 7 p.m. at Climate Pledge Arena.

The game will be broadcast on KONG with pregame coverage starting at 6:30 p.m. 

KONG is available for streaming through DirecTV Stream and Fubo and via antenna, cable, and satellite. The game will also be broadcast on the Kraken Hockey Network.


What to know about the Kraken vs. Blackhawks

Here are three things to know about the matchup between Seattle and Chicago: 

1. There’s shot selection and then there’s just being picky. When you’ve had only 12 shots on goal through 60 minutes of regulation play, it’s trending more towards the latter. The Kraken need to start taking more shots than they did Saturday night against the New York Rangers when tallying their all-time low for one contest.

2. One byproduct of not shooting is being unable to score. The Kraken have drifted to 24th of 32 teams in goals per game with just 2.73 and are last in the league in “expected” goals this season at 29, according to MoneyPuck. That’s not going to keep snagging any standings points if it continues.

3. These aren’t the same Blackhawks used as a punching bag the past few seasons. They’ve bolstered their crop of young talent, led by former No. 1 overall pick Connor Bedard, with some veteran talent including the likes of former Kraken forwards Ryan Donato and Andre Burakovsky, the latter of which makes his Climate Pledge Arena return following last summer’s trade.
