Fresh off a 42-shot performance and a late winner, the Red Wings open a three-game homestead Tuesday when they face a recently revived Kraken team. Puck drops at Little Caesars Arena is at 7 p.m. EST on ESPN+.
The Red Wings limited New York to 19 shots and generated 42 of their own on Sunday, with Lucas Raymond scoring the game-winner. Dylan Larkin continues to pace Detroit with 23 points, while Raymond has seven assists in his last four games.
Cam Talbot enters the night at 7–2–0 with a 2.71 goals-against average, and Detroit looks to tighten its early-season position near the top of the Atlantic Division. The Red Wings have also won three straight meetings against the Kraken, including a 5–4 decision last February.
Seattle arrives with back-to-back wins after struggling to score for most of the past two weeks. The Kraken produced nine goals across their victories over Winnipeg and San Jose. Jaden Schwartz and Jordan Eberle share the team lead with seven goals, while Eeli Tolvanen has scored in consecutive games.
The Kraken’s goaltending situation remains unsettled. Philipp Grubauer carries a 2.21 goals-against average after stepping in over the weekend. Joey Daccord is working back from injured reserve, and Matt Murray remains day-to-day.

“Seattle’s steady defense keeps it competitive, but Detroit holds the stronger power play and penalty kill. The Red Wings have more scoring threats across their four top lines. Detroit generates more pressure at home, and the penalty kill will be a factor against a Kraken group that has struggled when shorthanded. Expect Detroit to control more of the puck and take advantage of its healthier lineup.” — David Anicetti, Picks and Parlays
“The Red Wings have more points than the Kraken and have twice as many wins at home as the Kraken have on the road. They have a better offense, power play, and penalty kill, and won both meetings against the Kraken last season. I expect them to take care of business at home, so take the Red Wings.” — Nikos Lagouretos, PickDawgz
“I’m on the Kraken here. I get why Detroit would be favored at home, but the thing for me in this game is that I just haven’t loved what I’ve seen from Detroit from an offensive perspective. The goalscoring has been inconsistent, and while the defense against New York was solid, you’re going to have a hard time winning games scoring 1-2 goals a night. Give me Seattle.” — Chris Ruffolo, Sports Chat Place
