The Seattle Kraken welcome the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday for the second meeting between the clubs this season. Seattle prevailed 6-3 in the prior matchup, with Frederick Gaudreau netting two goals in that victory.
The Kraken carry a 5-3-1 record into the contest, though they have split their two home games. Seattle has struggled when spending more time in the penalty box, posting a 1-2-0 mark when its penalty minutes exceed the opponent's total.
Detroit enters at 3-3-2 following a 4-3 shootout win over the San Jose Sharks. The Red Wings remain winless in true road games, with an 0-0-1 mark away from home. Detroit ranks 10th in the league with 38 total penalties, averaging 4.8 per game.
Seattle will be without Ryan Lindgren (upper body), Jake O'Brien (lower body) and Jacob Melanson (chest), while Brandon Montour is day to day with a lower-body issue. Detroit misses Mason Appleton (undisclosed), J.T. Compher (undisclosed) and Marco Kasper (upper body).
