Seattle at Buffalo
4:00 PM Eastern
Seattle looks to snap a four-game slide as the Kraken have won five of six road games against teams with less than a .400 winning percentage at home. The Sabres have won only eight of 21 home games and lost their past five Saturday games overall. The Kraken comes off a 6-2 loss at Columbus, and Buffalo has lost four straight versus opponents that allowed at least five goals in their previous game. Seattle has won five of six meetings with the Sabres, who have lost eight of 10 against Western Conference teams and 15 of 20 overall. Joey Daccord is expected to start for Seattle, and he is 12-9-2 with a 2.59 goals-against average. Take the Kraken.
