NHL LIVE Seattle Kraken vs Minnesota Wild 24th February 2024 Full Game Reaction
In the span of eight days, the Seattle Kraken posted three-goal victories against the top teams in both the NHL's Eastern and Western conferences. Yet the Kraken still enter their Saturday night home game against the Minnesota Wild three points out of a playoff berth. Seattle recorded a 4-1 road victory over the East-leading Boston Bruins on Feb. 15. After the Kraken took a 4-3 overtime loss to the visiting Detroit Red Wings on Monday, Seattle came back to post a 5-2 victory against the West-leading Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. Seattle's Jared McCann had the first four-point game of his career -- his team-leading 25th goal and three assists -- vs. Vancouver. Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer, making just his second appearance since sustaining a lower-body injury Dec. 9, stopped 19 shots. The Kraken are riding a four-game point streak (3-0-1) as they try to track down the Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators and Minnesota in the Western Conference's wild-card race. Jordan Eberle added two goals, including a clinching empty-netter, and an assist against the Canucks. The Wild will be playing the second half of a back-to-back set after earning a 4-2 victory at Edmonton on Friday. Matt Boldy scored twice and Filip Gustavsson made 41 saves to hand the Oilers their first regulation loss at home since Dec. 16. The victory moved Minnesota, which is 6-1-1 in its past eight games, a point ahead of Seattle and into fourth place in the West's wild-card race. Gustavsson made 23 saves in the third period as the Oilers pushed for the equalizer. Minnesota opened the week with a 10-7 victory against visiting Vancouver on Monday as Joel Eriksson Ek and Kirill Kaprizov each had three goals and three assists. The Wild lost 6-3 at Winnipeg the next night. Minnesota's Marco Rossi tallied twice to give him 17 this season, tied with the Chicago Blackhawks' Connor Bedard for the most among rookies.
