With the Kraken’s second straight road win, there is belief in each other, paying attention to small details that win games and, sure, some puck luck on your side
LOS ANGELES – Jordan Eberle has been part of Kraken history over all five seasons. He’s answered hundreds upon hundreds of questions about the team’s fortunes. Shane Wright was selected fourth overall in 2022, now in his second NHL season and has played for a myriad of high-level teams across the sport, captaining a gold-medal winning Team Canada at World Juniors in 2023.
Both veteran and young-star-to-be know that small details win games, along with puck luck. Eberle pointed out how linemate Kaapo Kakko won a puck battle farther back on the ice to move the puck to Matty Beniers, who deftly found the captain for a game-winner. Monday night, star Philipp Grubauer said blocking out an approach by a Ducks forward helped him see an early-game puck clearly for an easy save that would have been much harder if that opposing forward had been screening him.

Kings Vs Kraken Game Preview: Kings are Looking To Head Into The Break with a Win
The LA Kings are on their 2nd game in a back-to-back, after losing 3-1 to the Columbus Blue Jackets yesterday. The Kings have lost 4 of their last 5 games and are 3 points behind the Edmonton Oilers for 3rd in the Pacific. The Kraken are coming into this game riding a two-game win streak. They defeated the Sharks on Saturday, 4-2, then last night defeated the Ducks, 3-1, and they are looking to also go into the winter break with a win.
The Kings seem to be keeping the lineup the same as last night. The starting goaltender is unknown, and in the Kings' last back-to-back games, Forsberg started both. The Kraken lineup is also similar to last night, but one player missing is defenseman Vince Dunn, who will not be playing tonight after he left the game after getting hit by Ducks forward Ross Johnston. The Kraken will also be starting Joey Daccord tonight after Philipp Grubauer started yesterday.
