PREVIEW

DEVILS (12-10-1) at KRAKEN (8-12-6)

Head-to-Head

Last season, the Devils won 3-1 over the Kraken at Prudential Center and lost 4-3 in overtime at Climate Pledge Arena. Ondrej Palat led the Devils with three points — all assists — over the two games. Ryan Donato had two goals, three points to lead the way for Seattle.

This is the first of two meetings this season between the clubs.

Devils Team Scope:

Despite a tough loss against the San Jose Sharks, a club near the bottom of the NHL standings, the Devils have won four of their last five games including the opener on this four-game road trip, 6-5 in Vancouver on Tuesday.

Only four points separates second through seventh in the Metropolitan Division. The Devils also sit three points behind Toronto for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Jack Hughes leads the NHL with 1.83 points per game. With games missed due to injury, he doesn’t lead the league overall, however. Jack sits ninth with 33 points but is only four points behind third.

Kraken Team Scope:

After a surprising sophomore campaign that saw them go to Game 7 of the second round, the Kraken have taken a step back this season. They are currently five points out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference and seventrh from the bottom in League standings.

Defenseman Vince Dunn leads the Kraken in points with 21 through 26 games. The 27-year-old is on pace to top last season’s career high of 64 points. Oliver Bjorkstrand is second on the club with 20 points in 26 contests.

Seattle has lost each of its last five games (0-4-1) with the lone point a shootout defeat against Toronto. Their last win came on November 22, 7-1 over San Jose.

By the Numbers:

Jack Hughes leads the way for the Devils for points in December so far with four. Jesper Bratt is second with three points and both have two goals. Tied for third on the team in December scoring is a bit of a surprise as Simon Nemec and Kevin Bahl have two points apiece.

For games on one day rest, like tonight is, the Devils leading scorers in this scenario are Bratt (8 points in 8 GP), Haula (7 points in 7 GP), Luke Hughes (7 points in 8 GP) and Toffoli (7 points in 8 GP).

Kakko scores 2 in 3rd period, Seattle Kraken beat Sabres 6-2

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Kaapo Kakko scored twice in the third period, Joey Daccord made 33 saves and the Seattle Kraken overcame an early two-goal deficit to beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-2 on Saturday.

Seattle Kraken 6, Buffalo Sabres 2: Box score

Oliver Bjorkstrand gave Seattle the lead on a scramble in front of the net at 3:08 of the third. Kakko scored 38 seconds later, and added another goal on a power play 1:40 after that.

Andre Burakovsky, Ryker Evans and Brandon Tanev also scored to help the Kraken snap a four-game skid. Chandler Stephenson, Joshua Mahura and Jared McCann each had two assists.

The Kraken scored six straight goals after Sam Lafferty and Jack Quinn gave the Sabres a 2-0 lead in the first period. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stopped 24 shots for Buffalo.

The Sabres had won two in a row.

Takeaways

Seattle Kraken: Rallied from a multi-goal deficit for an NHL-best sixth time, rebounding from a 6-2 loss in Columbus on Thursday night.

Buffalo Sabres: Fans booed and bellowed for general manager Kevyn Adams to be fired and owner Terry Pegula to sell the team after the season’s 15th blown lead in a loss.

Key moment

After Luukkonen made the save on an initial shot by Burakovsky, the rebound shot by Bjorkstrand ricocheted off the goalie’s leg pad and into the net off the glove of Sabres defenseman Jacob Bryson.

Key stat

The Kraken are 4-0-0 liftime in Buffalo with a 22-11 goal differential.

Up next

Seattle is at Detroit on Sunday in the middle of a five-game trip. Buffalo has three days off before hosting Carolina on Wednesday night.
