Kraken News
Kraken hockey is back tonight. Seattle’s hosting the Anaheim Ducks in their series opener.
It will be the Kraken’s first game under new head coach Lane Lambert, who’s their third coach in as many seasons. He’ll look to turn around a team that finished in a tie for the fourth-worst record in the NHL last season.
Seattle will be without two key pieces after suffering injuries to Ryker Evans and Kaapo Kaako over the past month. But we should get a first look at their No. 8 overall pick from 2024, Berkeley Catton.
Coverage begins at 6:30 and puck drops at 7 on KPUG.
