The Kraken are on the road on Thursday facing off against the Edmonton Oilers.

EDMONTON, AB — The Seattle Kraken are back on the road on Thursday evening, Dec. 4, facing the Edmonton Oilers. 

The puck drops at 6 p.m. at Rodgers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, and will be broadcast on KONG. Pregame coverage starts at 5:30 p.m.


What to know about the Kraken vs. the Oilers

The Kraken hold a record of 11-7-6 coming off the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. These two teams just faced each other on Nov. 29, with Edmonton (11-11-5) coming away with a 4-0 win.

Here’s a look at some keys to tonight’s matchup: 

All together now, with gusto. “Score. Some. Goals.” – Again, this won’t go down in the 3 Game Essentials Hall of Fame for originality, but all the planning and focus on key elements won’t matter if the Kraken don’t put the puck in the net. They’ve been blanked in two of the last three games and scored only twice in the other.

Stay out of the box, please. It hasn’t gone well – This was part of one of our essentials last week against the Oilers and it now gets amplified because Edmonton scored twice on the only two power play chances the Kraken gave them. 

Know your foe – The Kraken know the Oilers all too well and have only beaten them once at Rogers Place in their entire history, that coming nearly three years ago during an NHL record 7-0-0 road trip. Otherwise, the Kraken are 1-5-1 in Edmonton.
