The Kraken return home to host the Columbus Blue Jackets at Climate Pledge Arena on Tuesday.
SEATTLE — The Seattle Kraken are back home on Tuesday, November 11, to take on the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The puck will drop at 7 p.m. on November 11 at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.
The game will be broadcast on KONG with pregame coverage starting at 6:30 p.m.
What to know about the Kraken vs. Blue Jackets
Here are the major storylines for tonight’s game between Seattle and Columbus:
1. Keep the netminders sharp – Both Philipp Grubauer and Matt Murray looked very good on the road once they shook off initial rust from having not played in weeks. Assuming the team keeps alternating from here in Joey Daccord’s absence, you would think Grubauer gets the nod on Tuesday against Columbus based on his Saturday night win in St. Louis. We’ll see after morning skate.
2. Keep this Tolvanen streak going – Eeli Tolvanen has been a somewhat streaky player ever since the Kraken acquired him on waivers three years ago. But going 13 games without a goal to start this season before scoring in the 14th was new territory. Tolvanen has managed six assists but he is one of a crew of Kraken forwards being counted on to put the puck in the net.
3. Know the foe – Tough to know which version of the Blue Jackets we’ll see. Columbus had won six of seven prior to a three-game losing streak entering last night’s contest in Edmonton. They were also one of only seven remaining teams to have not earned a point via an overtime or shootout defeat. Those are critical and one reason why the Blue Jackets entered Monday in last place in the Metropolitan Division despite a “true” .500 record of 7-7-0.
