WINNING WAYS

SECOND TIME AROUND
• The Kraken enter tonight’s game with an 12-5-3 record, which is good for a .675 points percentage and 27 points.
• The team won their 12th game of the season on Nov. 25 vs. the Vegas Golden Knights, their 20th game played of the season. Last year, it took the Kraken 39 games and 100 days from the start of the season to reach 12 wins, earning their 12th win of the season on Jan. 20, 2022, a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks.
• It also took the Kraken 39 games to reach 27 points last season. This year, the Kraken earned their 27th point of the season in their 20th game played, a 4-2 win against the Golden Knights on Nov. 25.
• Saturday, Nov. 26 marked the 47th day of the 2022-23 NHL season, roughly a quarter of the way through. Compared to the first 47 days of the 2021-22 regular season, the Kraken have won five more games, earned 12 more points and have improved their points percentage by 0.318.
• The Kraken’s 0.318 points percentage improvement from the first 47 days of the 2021-22 season to the first 47 days of the 2022-23 season leads the NHL. Seattle is the only team with a points percentage improvement that is over .300.

• The team’s 12 wins this season have come against the Buffalo Sabres, Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, Los Angeles Kings (2), Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins (2), San Jose Sharks and Vegas Golden Knights. Seven of those 10 teams were playoff teams last season.
YOU’RE A BURK
• Andre Burakovsky enters tonight’s game leading the Kraken with 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists) this season. It is the first time in his career that he has played a point-per-game pace through his first 20 games of the season.
• According to NHL Stats, Burakovsky ranks fourth in scoring among veteran players who are in their first season with a new team. He trails Florida’s Matthew Tkachuk (27 points), Los Angeles’ Kevin Fiala (22 points) and Detroit’s Dominik Kubalik (21 points).
• The nine-year vet is currently on pace to finish the season with 29 goals, 53 assists and 82 points, all of which would set career highs for the forward.
• Burakovsky has posted multi-point efforts in each of the Kraken’s last two games, scoring twice on Nov. 25 at Vegas and scoring a goal and adding two assists on Nov. 23 vs. San Jose. If he were to have two or more points tonight, it would mark the first time that he recorded multi-point efforts in three consecutive games since he did so in four straight games from Jan. 18 to Feb. 4, 2020.
• According to Natural Stat Trick, Burakovsky has a 53.1 percent Corsi rating this season, which ranks fourth among Kraken skaters that have played in at least two games.
ROAD WARRIORS
• The Kraken have posted a 6-1-1 record while playing on the road this season and are one of only three teams (New Jersey, Vegas) to have only one regulation loss on the road this season.
• Despite playing the second-fewest games on the road this season (eight), the Kraken were tied for the fourth in the NHL in regulation wins on the road (six) and ranked third in road points percentage (.813) entering play Saturday.
• The team’s 3.88 goals-per-game played on the road ranked fifth in the NHL entering play Saturday.
• Seattle is outscoring its opponents 31-21 when playing on the road this season. The team’s 21 goals against and 2.63 goals against per game played on the road this year tied for second and ranked fourth in the NHL, respectively, entering play Saturday.
• A regulation win tonight would make the Kraken the first team this season to win five consecutive road games in regulation.
• The Toronto Maple Leafs have also won their last four road games in regulation and could extend their streak to five games when they take on the Penguins in Pittsburgh on Nov. 26.
• Andre Burakovsky is the team’s leading scorer when playing on the road, totaling seven points (four goals, three assists) in eight road games this season.
• Yanni Gourde has recorded at least a point in each of his last four road games dating back to Nov. 1 at Calgary, totaling five points (two goals, three assists) during that span. A goal or an assist tonight would give him points in five consecutive road games for the first time since he had points in six straight road games from Oct. 27 to Nov. 17, 2018.
CHEERS TO BENIERS
• Matty Beniers leads all NHL rookies this season in goals (six) and points (15), and his nine assists tied for third entering play Saturday. His six points (one goal, five assists) since Nov. 19 lead both NHL rookies and all Kraken skaters.
• Beniers’ 15 points are good for third on Seattle’s roster. His six goals and nine assists are tied for fourth and third, respectively, among all Kraken skaters.
• Beniers is also averaging 17:14 of ice time per game this season, which is the second-most among rookie forwards (Noah Cates; 17:48) and ranks fourth among Kraken forwards.
• The 20-year-old is currently on pace to finish the season with 25 goals, 37 assists and 62 points. 25 goals would be the most since Minnesota’s Kirill Kaprizov – the eventual Calder Memorial Trophy Winner – had 27 goals 2020-21.
• A goal or an assist tonight would give Beniers points in four consecutive games. It would mark the fourth time in his career that he recorded a point streak of four or more games.
STARTING STRONG
• The Kraken are 9-1-1 when scoring first this season and have scored first in four of their last five games.
• The team has scored first in 11 of its 20 games played this season, roughly 55 percent of the time. For comparison, last year the Kraken scored first in only 31 of their 82 games played, or about 37.8 percent.
• Their nine wins (tied) and .818 points percentage when scoring first both ranked sixth in the NHL entering play Saturday.
• The Kraken are outscoring their opponents 20-17 in the first period this season. Their plus-three goal differential in the first 20 minutes of played ranked 11th in the NHL entering play Saturday.
• The Kraken are one of four teams in the NHL (Boston, Colorado, New Jersey) to have a positive goal differential in each period this season. They are plus-three in the first period, plus-six in the second period, and plus-six in the third period.
• The Kraken have gone into the first intermission leading six times this season and have posted a 4-1-1 record in those games.
ON A ROLL
• Justin Schultz has totaled six points (two goals, four assists) in his last four games. If he records a point tonight, it would give him points in five consecutive games, which would set a career high for the 11-year vet.
• Jordan Eberle has eight points (five goals, three assists) in his last seven games, dating back to Nov. 8 vs. Nashville. His five goals during that span lead all Kraken skaters.
• Jared McCann and Jaden Schwartz both have four points (two goals, two assists) in his last four games.
• If he were to score tonight, Ryan Donato would have goals in three consecutive games, which would match his career high that he has reached on two other occasions.
A STAR IS BORN
• Martin Jones was named the NHL’s Third Star of the Week for the week of Nov. 14 after posting a 2-0-0 record with a 1.90 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage. It is the first time in franchise history that a Kraken player has been named one of the NHL’s Three Stars of the Week.

• According to Evolving Hockey, Jones has saved 7.47 goals above expected at five-on-five during that span, which ranked fifth in the NHL entering play Saturday.
• Jones’ 10 wins were tied for the third-most in the NHL this season entering play Saturday.
FOUR’S COMPANY
• The Seattle Kraken will forgo naming a captain for the 2022-23 season and have named four alternate captains as part of this year’s leadership group: Jordan Eberle, Yanni Gourde, Adam Larsson and Jaden Schwartz.
• This season will mark the second-consecutive year that all four of Eberle, Gourde, Larsson and Schwartz will wear a letter for the Kraken.

Terry is currently on pace for 85 points, which is ahead of his career high set last season (37-30=67 in 75 GP in 2021-22) and would stand as the highest single-season total by a Ducks skater since Ryan Getzlaf in 2013-14 (31-56=87 in 77 GP).
GENERATION Z: Center Trevor Zegras co-leads the Ducks in goals (8), one of two players 21 or younger to lead their team in goals this season (also Cole Caufield, MTL), while he ranks second among team leaders in points (8-9=17) and assists.

QUE RICO!: Center Adam Henrique has 7-3=10 points his last 11 games after he recorded points in a season-long six straight games Nov. 5-19 (5-3=8), his best as a Duck and one short of his career-long point streak set over 10 years ago in seven straight contests with New Jersey Nov. 25-Dec. 8, 2011 (2-7=9). He scored goals in a season-best three straight games Nov. 5-12 (3-0=3, +3; missed Nov. 9 due to birth of first child), including his 100th goal as a Duck (100-90=190) Nov. 12 vs. CHI, becoming the 10th player in franchise history to reach the milestone.
