The Montreal Canadiens are closing out their four-game Western road trip with a high-stakes showdown in Seattle—and the Kraken are out for blood. After a dramatic 5-4 overtime loss to Montreal earlier this month, Seattle is eyeing payback on home ice at Climate Pledge Arena this Tuesday night.
Montreal enters the matchup riding a wave of momentum, having edged Vancouver 4-3 in yet another nail-biter. It marked their seventh one-goal game of the season and solidified rookie goaltender Jakub Dobes’ historic start—becoming the first in NHL history to open back-to-back seasons with five straight wins.
But the Kraken aren’t backing down. Fresh off a 3-2 win over Edmonton, Seattle is building its own streak, powered by veteran Jordan Eberle and rising star Berkly Catton. Eberle, who just notched his 70th goal in a Kraken jersey, is poised to lead the charge against a Canadiens squad that thrives on chaos and late-game heroics.
All eyes will be on Ivan Demidov, the Canadiens’ breakout rookie, who’s racked up six points in his last five games and made franchise history with a three-point night in Vancouver. With both teams heating up and playoff implications already looming, this isn’t just another regular season game—it’s a battle for narrative control.
Will Montreal complete a triumphant road sweep, or will Seattle rewrite the script with a statement win? Puck drops at 10:30 p.m. ET. Buckle up.
