Kraken vs. Calgary PREVIEW: Light the Lamp, Let’s Go!

The Seattle Kraken open their NHL regular season against the Calgary Flames at the Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta. Both teams enter the matchup looking to bounce back from difficult prior campaigns and push for playoff contention. Seattle won last season's head-to-head series 2-1, but writer Sky on Air notes that Calgary enters the new year with a healthier roster.

Calgary is dealing with the notable absence of Jonathan Huberdeau, who is potentially sidelined for the season. Sky on Air highlights goaltender Dustin Wolf and forward prospect Matvei Gradin as primary threats Seattle must overcome, alongside returning Flames contributors such as Matt Coronato and Mikael Backlund.
