Kraken Host Flames in Crucial Playoff Clash

The Calgary Flames are set to face the Seattle Kraken in a crucial matchup as both teams vie for playoff positioning in the Western Conference. Calgary, currently holding the second wild-card spot, has made notable lineup changes, including inserting Kevin Rooney and Daniil Miromanov while veteran Tyson Barrie sits out. Seattle, eight points behind the Flames, looks to narrow the gap after a recent 6-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks. The Kraken previously defeated the Flames 2-1 in their season opener, and both teams have two more games scheduled against each other this season. Dan Vladar will be in goal for Calgary, needing to improve his recent performance, while Seattle's Joey Daccord has shown strong statistics against the Flames. This game represents an important opportunity for both teams as they push for playoff contention.
