The New Jersey Devils (24-15-3) head to Emerald City on a four game losing streak. They’re looking to snap said streak against the Seattle Kraken (17-20-3), who now have former rival, Kaapo Kakko manning their top line, acquiring him from the New York Rangers nearly three weeks ago.
On Sunday, we learned the Devils will likely be playing without one of their regulars.
