NHL Preview: Calgary Flames (23-17-9) at Seattle Kraken (28-14-5)

CALGARY FLAMES NOTES:

CALGARY FLAMES [1] vs. CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS [5]
The Calgary Flames finished up a four-game homestand by welcoming the Chicago Blackhawks to the Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday night. The Blackhawks drew first blood late in the first with Taylor Raddysh netting his 13th of the season. But in the dying embers of the opening period, Jonathan Huberdeau made a slick move around Jake McCabe and deked out Jaxson Stauber to burry his 10th of the season in style and draw the Flames level after 20. In the second, a Boris Katchouk shot would take a deflection to restore Chicago’s lead and they would add two more goals in the frame to go up 4-1 through 40. The Flames tried to battle back in the third, outshooting Chicago 18-6, but would ultimately fall 5-1.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

• Entering play Thursday, the Kraken led the Pacific Division in points (61, tied) and points percentage (.649). The team’s plus-27 goal differential this season also led the Pacific Division entering play Thursday and ranked eighth in the NHL.

• The Kraken have not allowed a power-play goal for five consecutive games, going a perfect 13-for-13 during that span.

The team previously went six straight games from Oct. 29 to Nov. 11 without allowing a power-play goal. Entering play Thursday, the Kraken were one of three teams (St. Louis, Washington) to remain perfect on the penalty kill since Jan. 16, the start of the Kraken’s streak.

• With 47 games played, the Kraken have already surpassed their win (27) and point (60) totals from last season.

• Since the start of the New Year, the Kraken are leading the league in wins (10, tied), points (21), goals (55) and goals per game (4.23). They are one of only two teams (Edmonton) to be averaging four or more goals per game in 2023.

• When Morgan Geekie and Daniel Sprong are on the ice together during five-on-five play this season, the Kraken are outscoring their opponents 14-6 according to Natural Stat Trick.

• Matty Beniers has drawn 13 penalties and been assessed one penalty this season. His plus-12 penalty differential was tied for the seventh-best mark in the NHL entering play Thursday.

• Entering play Thursday, Yanni Gourde was tied for 12th in the NHL with 21 penalties drawn this season.

• Despite only playing in 47 games this season, the Kraken are the first team to have scored at least eight goals in a game four different times since the Pittsburgh Penguins also has four eight-goal games in 2011-12.

TONIGHT’S MATCHUP
Tonight, the New York Islanders host the Detroit Red Wings in the second of three matchups between the two clubs this season. The last time these teams met was November 5, 2022, in Detroit, when the Islanders registered 24 shots on goal but were blanked by the Red Wings in a 3-0 decision. The Red Wings last visited the Islanders on March 24, 2022, when four Islanders recorded multi-point contests in a 5-2 Islander victory. Tonight’s matchup is the eighth consecutive Eastern Conference opponent the Islanders have played since January 14 against Montreal. The Islanders will look to snap a six-game winless streak, and enter tonight’s matchup with a 13-12-3 record against Eastern Conference opponents and a 4-3-2 record against Atlantic Division foes since November 14. The Islanders have won each of their last four home matchups against the Red Wings, and they have collected points in six of their last seven home matchups against Detroit, dating back to the 2016-17 season. Tonight, the Islanders begin their tenth of 15 back-to-back series they will play this season, as they host the Vegas Golden Knights tomorrow night at 7:30pm. It is the only time this season that the Islanders will play both ends of a back-to-back on home ice. They enter tonight’s matchup 4-5-0 on the front end of back-to-back games.

PENALTY KILL
The Islanders have killed 26 of their last 27 home-ice penalties. The Islanders enter tonight’s matchup 90.3% on the penalty kill at home, leading the NHL. Since December 4, they are 96.3% on the penalty kill at UBS Arena, allowing just one power play goal in their last 11 home games. Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield leads the Islanders and is fifth in the NHL in shorthanded time on ice this season. He has skated 153:33 on the penalty kill in 50 games this season.

NBA Preview: Cleveland Cavaliers (30-20) at Oklahoma City Thunder (23-25)

NBA Preview: Cleveland Cavaliers (30-20) at Oklahoma City Thunder (23-25)

Jalen Williams came off the bench for the Oklahoma City Thunder the last time they faced off with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In the Thunder’s next game two days later, the rookie from Santa Clara moved into the starting lineup and hasn’t moved since.

Friday night, Williams figures to be in the starting lineup for the 23rd consecutive game when the Thunder take on the Cavs in Oklahoma City.

Williams’ offensive contributions are all over the place. He’s coming off a 24-point performance in Wednesday’s loss to Atlanta after scoring just four the game before, a win in Denver.

But he has become a fixture in a Thunder rotation that offers little other certainty outside of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey.

Against the Hawks, not only did Williams have his second-highest scoring total of his rookie season, on 11-of-16 shooting, but he also had five rebounds and four steals.

The Thunder have dropped two of their last three, attempting 51 fewer free throws than their opponents in that span (94-43).

Daigneault said some of the difference can be attributed to playing from behind and needing to foul late in two of those games.

Cleveland has won two of its last three, including a 113-95 victory in Houston on Thursday.

Friday’s game is the rubber game of a three-game road trip for the Cavs. Cleveland won the first meeting of the season against the Thunder, 110-102 at home Dec. 10, and has won four straight against Oklahoma City.

The Cavs were without Donovan Mitchell in that earlier meeting this season, as he sat out with a sore leg. Mitchell could miss Friday’s game as well, after aggravating the groin injury that kept him out the three previous games in Tuesday’s loss to the Knicks.

On Thursday, Mitchell was named an All-Star starter for the first time before missing Cleveland’s game against the Rockets. After the win, Mitchell crashed the postgame television interview with Darius Garland to lobby for Garland’s inclusion on the All-Star roster after Garland had 26 points on 9-of-16 shooting with nine assists.

Kevin Love also missed Thursday’s game due to lower back spasms.

NBA Preview: Memphis Grizzlies (31-17) at Minnesota Timberwolves (25-25)

NBA Preview: Memphis Grizzlies (31-17) at Minnesota Timberwolves (25-25)

The Memphis Grizzlies will look to apply the brakes on a four-game skid Friday night when they play the finale of a season-high five-game road trip against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis.

Memphis entered the lengthy trek on a high, winning a franchise high-tying 11 straight games before its fortunes took a decided a turn for the worse.

The Grizzlies dropped a pair of narrow decisions to begin the road trip, lost a lopsided battle in Sacramento and saw a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter go by the boards in a 122-120 setback to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.

Ja Morant collected 29 points and 12 assists on Wednesday in his return from a one-game absence due to soreness in his left ankle. He had 28 and eight, respectively, in the Grizzlies’ 114-103 win over the Timberwolves on Nov. 11 and 24 points in a 109-101 setback in Minneapolis on Nov. 30.

Brandon Clarke contributed 19 points and eight rebounds on Wednesday after being inserted into the starting lineup in place of Steven Adams, who is sidelined for three to five weeks with a sprained right knee ligament.

The Timberwolves have found their groove by winning nine of their last 13 games to reach .500 on the season.

Anthony Edwards erupted for 37 points in Minnesota’s 111-102 win at the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night. The former top overall draft pick’s ability to push the tempo and make the most of his options in transition was well received by Minnesota coach Chris Finch.

Edwards has averaged 37.3 points over his last three games. He scored 28 and 29 points, respectively, in the two meetings against Memphis this season.

Rudy Gobert collected 17 points and 12 rebounds on Wednesday for the Timberwolves, who begin a six-game homestand against the Grizzlies.

Minnesota has won seven of its last eight home games to improve to 16-10 at Target Center this season.

Memphis, which has produced stellar results at home in its own right, is just 11-14 on the road.

Boxing Preview: Otto Wallin (24-1, 14 KO’s) vs Helaman Olguin (9-4-1, 4 KO’s)

Top heavyweight contender Otto Wallin will return to action for his first fight of 2023, as he takes on Mexico’s Helaman Olguin in an eight-round fight this Friday, January 27 from Castleton Banquet & Conference Center in Windham, New Hampshire. Wallin, who is promoted by Salita Promotions and who owns the WBO No. 3 and WBC No. 9 rankings, will look to stay sharp as he seeks a marquee matchup this year.

“I feel great heading into this fight,” said Wallin. “My training has been going great and I’ve done a lot of good sparring leading up to this fight. I’m excited to be fighting in New Hampshire and can’t wait to step into the ring. I can’t overlook Olguin, who is a good fighter, but I don’t think he’s on my level. I know that I can compete and win against any heavyweight in the world, and I’ll make sure that I show why on Friday night.”

“Otto trains his tail off twice a day, six days a week, virtually year-round,” said Zach Levin, Wallin’s manager. “He cannot wait to prove himself against the very best in the world. While he waits for that opportunity to present itself, he is preparing for Olguin like the consummate professional that he is. He is grinding and not looking past Olguin. On January 27, Otto’s world class skills will be on full display and the fans in attendance will know they have been treated to something different.”

Wallin (24-1, 14 KOs) added two wins to his ledger in 2022, following up a unanimous decision in February over Kamil Sokolowski with a dominant decision over the always tough Rydell Booker in May. Since then Wallin has stayed ready in the gym, and after moving on from negotiations to face former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, will step back into the ring looking to show again why he’s a top 10 heavyweight in the world.

“Otto Wallin is the most avoided and feared fighter in the heavyweight division,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “He is staying active, sharp and improving with every fight. Fights like this show how much of a committed fighter Otto really is. Instead of waiting around for a big fight, he is honing his craft. We are looking forward to an impressive performance and a big 2023 ahead.”
