Kraken vs Flames: Game PreviewThe Need To Knows The Time: 6pm PT The Place: Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, AB Place to Watch: ROOT Northwest Place to Listen: KJR 93. 3 Know Your Enemy The Flames had the wildest offseason in the NHL this past summer and somehow went from Pacific Division frontrunners to... well, Pacific Division frontrunners. Replacing Matthew Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau with Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau has worked out just fine for them so far in both the goal-scoring area and the “names ending in -eau” area. Kadri leads the team with 9 points in 7 games and the defense is still extremely frustrating to play against. Jacob Markstrom hasn’t quite been the goalie he was last year, but it’s early and he’s still got a better save percentage than anyone on the Kraken. Game Preview The Flames boast a top-10 penalty kill by PK% and look even better by some more detailed numbers like shots allowed and goals allowed per 60 minutes while down a man.
It is unclear how many have received an additional COVID-19 vaccine booster.

In the outing, they converted 3 out of the 45 shots they put on goal. Get all of our NHL Picks Today When playing at even strength, the Flames have given up 80 goals while getting 86 on the offensive side of the ice. Calgary Flames opponents have tallied 135 power play opportunities (1st in the NHL) and have scored 26 goals in those chances.
The Kraken have done a lot of damage this year on the power play, but this will be the biggest test for what has been the strongest aspect of the Kraken’s offense to date. Meanwhile the Flames have had just as successful of a power play as the Kraken so far this year, which isn’t a great sign for the struggling Kraken penalty kill unit. Keeping this one at 5-on-5 would be ideal for Dave Hakstol and company.
