TBS will host Saturday's matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and Seattle Kraken in the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The puck is set to drop at 10 p.m. ET at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington.
The Avalanche dropped Game 1 of the series at home before bouncing back in Game 2. Defenseman Devon Toews scored the game-winning goal in the third period of a 3-2 victory over the Kraken. Center Nathan MacKinnon has yet to score a goal on 15 shots over two games in the series. Perhaps this is where MacKinnon breaks through in a crucial swing game.
For Seattle, you can't ask much more from goalie Philipp Grubauer through two games. He made 38 saves on 41 shots in Game 2. Things could have gotten out of hand. Grubauer made 34 saves in the Game 1 win. The scoring remains spread out for the Kraken and the power play needs to start producing in order to keep up with Colorado.
