Seattle Kraken host Toronto Maple Leafs in the NHL on Wednesday, 28 October, with another high-scoring contest looking likely.
Both teams have regularly been involved in high-scoring games this season. Nine of Toronto's opening 14 matches have produced at least seven goals, while Seattle have seen the same outcome in nine of their 12 games.
Goaltending has been a concern for both sides, and Toronto's power play could prove particularly dangerous against a struggling Seattle penalty kill. The Maple Leafs are converting 28.9% of their power-play opportunities, while the Kraken have killed just 70.6% of penalties faced.
Key Stats
- Over 6.5 goals has landed in nine of Toronto's 14 games and nine of Seattle's 12.
- William Nylander has scored four goals in his last five games, including goals in consecutive appearances.
- Toronto's power play is operating at 28.9%, compared with Seattle's penalty kill at 70.6%.
Toronto Maple Leafs Recent Form
Toronto have experienced mixed results on their current road trip, recording an impressive 7-2 victory over Edmonton before losing 5-2 to Calgary.
Auston Matthews leads the team with 20 points, while Nylander has contributed 19 points and 41 shots on goal through 14 games. Nylander has scored in six of those appearances and has also collected seven power-play points, making him an appealing goalscorer selection against Seattle.
The Maple Leafs have been particularly effective on the penalty kill, operating at an NHL-best 93.6%, although injuries to John Tavares and potentially Kirill Marchenko could affect their attacking depth.
Seattle Kraken Recent Form
Seattle return to action following three days off, having suffered a 5-1 home defeat against Minnesota in their previous game.
The Kraken have struggled defensively, allowing 36 shots on goal in each of their last two appearances. Projected starting goaltender Philipp Grubauer faces another difficult assignment against Toronto's attacking talent. Jared McCann remains sidelined, with Kaapo Kakko expected to play alongside Matty Beniers and Jordan Eberle on the top line.
Brandon Montour has provided some attacking production from defence, recording a point in three consecutive games.
Verdict
Shaky goaltending on both sides and Toronto's power play against a soft penalty kill. Give me the goals, and Nylander to make it 3 straight.
