These two teams are coming into this game going in different directions, Seattle has won 2 in a row, while the Sharks come into Monday game losers of 3 in a row.
The Kraken and Sharks haven’t played since November 23rd, in what was a high scoring affair with the Kraken coming out on top 8-5. Seattle has won this match up 4 of the last 5 times.
Seattle Kraken
Seattle come into this match up off of two home wins, against the Flyers and Red Wings. Kraken have earned at least a single point in the last 4 games.
Offense
The Kraken are one of the NHL’s best offensive teams in terms of goals per game, 3.51 goals per game which ranks 4th in the league. Surprisingly they are near the bottom of the league in shots per game with only 29.9. After those stats just mentioned it’s not a big surprise that the Kraken are the leagues best shooting percentage team at 11%.

Defense
Seattles offence is the best part of this team, the defence leaves a lot to desire with the Kraken giving up 3.07 goals per game which ranks them middle of the pack in the NHL. A big part of the struggles on defence is the penalty kill, Seattle has the worst penalty kill in the league, only killing off 71% of penalties.
There is a positive when talking about this Kraken defence and its the amount of shots they give up, only giving up 27 per game which ranks them 3rd in the NHL.
Goaltending
All indications would point to Martin Jones to get the start against his old team, Jones has a very strong record at 23-9-3 and a solid 2.92 goals against average. He has struggled of late though giving up 4 or more goals in his last 3 starts.
San Jose Sharks
San Jose will look to break their 3 game winning streak on Monday. Sharks have lost to the Penguins, Golden Knights, and Sabres over that stretch. If you wanted to take a positive on that losing streaks all the losses were in close games against playoff teams.
San Jose’s most recent effort was Saturday vs Buffalo at home, dropping that one 4-2. Sharks looked to be the better team during the first two frames, outshooting Buffalo 27-13, but were tied up at 2-2 going into the final period, they were outshot 18-8 over the final 20, and outscored 2-0.
Offense
Offensively, San Jose is not a strong team, they average under 3 goals per game, they generate under 30 shots per game, the power play hits at only 19%. All those numbers are well below average in the NHL this season. San Jose has not scored more than 4 goals since January 28th in Pittsburgh.
Defense
Defensively San Jose hasn’t been much better than the offence giving up almost 4 goals per game. With that number its very surprising to see their penalty kill so highly ranked, killing off 84% of penalties which puts them 2nd best in the league, not really the numbers you’d expect from a struggling team.
Goaltending
At the time of writing this it looks like James Riemer will get the nod in the net for the Sharks, his season numbers have not been good but with a not so good team playing in front of him that shouldn’t be to surprising. 8-14-6 with a very high 3.31 goals against average won’t get it done most nights.
