Wed Feb 05 11:20:00 IST 2025: ## Red Wings Aim for Western Road Trip Sweep Against Kraken

**Seattle, WA** – The Detroit Red Wings look to cap off a successful four-game Western road trip with a victory over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night. Currently riding a seven-game winning streak and a seven-game point streak, the Red Wings (27-21-5, 59 points) aim to complete a season sweep against the Kraken (23-28-3, 49 points). The game will air on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit and the Red Wings Radio Network.

Coming off a hard-fought 3-2 overtime win against the Vancouver Canucks, the Red Wings showed resilience, with Alex DeBrincat scoring twice and Alex Lyon making 25 saves. Defenseman Moritz Seider, set to play his 300th NHL game, credits the team’s defensive structure for their recent success.

However, the Red Wings will be without defenseman Jeff Petry, who recently underwent surgery and is expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks. Coach Todd McLellan acknowledged the loss but emphasized the team’s commitment to maintaining their competitive edge.

The Kraken, currently seventh in the Pacific Division, enter the game having lost three of their last four. Jared McCann leads Seattle in scoring with 41 points, while Chandler Stephenson and Jaden Schwartz follow closely behind. Goaltender Joey Daccord will likely start for Seattle.

Coach McLellan anticipates a tougher matchup than their previous encounter, a 6-2 Red Wings victory on January 12th, noting that Seattle played better in the latter stages of that game. The Red Wings will need to maintain their intensity and defensive focus to secure the win and complete their road trip sweep.
