The Seattle Kraken will try to keep their fading playoff hopes alive when they visit the Nashville Predators on Thursday night. A 3-5-1 record in the last nine games has put Seattle behind five teams fighting for the second wild-card slot in the Western Conference.

Seattle started the month of March with a win over Vancouver before falling to Minnesota, 4-3, on Tuesday night. Jared McCann (15g-29a) leads the team with 44 points, followed by Chandler Stephenson (10g-31a) with 41 points and Jaden Schwartz (19g-19a) with 38 points. Joey Daccord is 21-16-3 on the season; Philipp Grubauer is 5-15-1 overall.
