The Kraken are coming into this game with a 29-34-5 record this season and they have been one of the worst teams in the Western Conference this season. They have won 2 of their last 3 games, but both of those wins came at home where they have played better and now they are coming off of a 3-2 loss at home against the Jets in their last game. They have been much worse on the road recently as they have lost 4 of their last 5 games, and they have allowed a lot more goals in those road games as well. They are going up against a Blackhawks team that is 20-38-9 this season and they have been one of the worst teams in the league all season, but these are the kinds of games against other bad teams that they can win. They have not been playing well recently as they have lost their last 4 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games, but they are coming off of a 6-2 loss against the Canucks in their last game and they are going to have a response after that bad game. That 6-2 loss to the Canucks also ended a 4 game road trip for them which they did not win a single game and even took 2 bad losses to the Sharks and the Predators so they are going to be the hungrier team in this game and will be able to find the net at home against this loose Kraken defense that has given up more goals on the road recently. The Blackhawks have actually played much better at home recently as well, winning 2 of their last 3 games with their only loss in that span coming against a good Senators team in OT 4-3. The Blackhawks are going to bounce back and win this game at home.
