Wild seek first win of road trip against surging Kraken
Seattle has won two straight, while Minnesota has one point from its first two stops on a five-game trip.
Minnesota heads to Seattle on Saturday, Oct. 24, seeking its first victory on a five-game road trip. The Wild and Kraken meet at 7 p.m. PT (10 p.m. ET).
The Wild have a loss beyond regulation in Edmonton and a 2-1 defeat in Calgary from the opening two stops. Minnesota was unable to recover after allowing two first-period power-play goals to the Flames on Thursday.
Seattle has won twice in a row and earned points in six of its past seven games, going 5-1-1. The Kraken beat Utah 5-3 on Thursday after losing a two-goal lead in the third period. Mackie Samoskevich put Seattle back in front with 5:25 remaining.
Protecting those advantages is a concern for Seattle: Detroit also erased a three-goal third-period deficit Tuesday before the Kraken won in a shootout. Minnesota continues its trip in Vancouver on Sunday.
