Wed Mar 05 03:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Wild Look to Continue Winning Streak Against Kraken in Seattle

**SEATTLE, WA** – The Minnesota Wild (35-22-4, 74 points), riding high after a shutout victory over the Boston Bruins, face the Seattle Kraken (26-31-4, 56 points) tonight at Climate Pledge Arena. The Wild, currently third in the Central Division, will be looking to build on their recent success against a Kraken team sitting seventh in the Pacific Division.

The two teams have a history, with Minnesota holding a 6-3-1 all-time record against Seattle, including a 4-1-0 record on the road. Their last meeting saw a 5-4 shootout win for the Kraken in Minnesota. That game featured multi-point performances from Kirill Kaprizov (1 goal, 2 assists) for the Wild and Andre Burakovsky, Jordan Eberle, and Jared McCann for the Kraken.

Minnesota enters the game fresh off a 1-0 shutout win against Boston, with Freddy Gaudreau scoring the lone goal and Filip Gustavsson earning his fourth shutout of the season. The Wild have made several roster moves recently, acquiring forwards Gustav Nyquist (from Nashville) and Tyler Madden (from Los Angeles), while also dealing with injuries to key players like Jonas Brodin (lower body, one game missed), Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body, four games missed), and Kirill Kaprizov (lower body, eleven games missed). The team also placed Travis Dermott on waivers and activated Jakub Lauko from injured reserve.

Tonight’s game promises a compelling matchup between two teams with contrasting fortunes. The Wild’s offensive firepower will be tested against a Kraken team looking to upset the Central Division contenders on home ice.
