comment: "<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Seattle Kraken can see the finish line in their bid to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs in just their second year of existence.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Anaheim Ducks are one of the teams that stand in their path, and the Kraken will try to bump them aside when they meet on Thursday night in Seattle.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Kraken (40-25-8, 88 points) hold the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference with nine games remaining.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Seattle is seven points out of third place in the Pacific Division and owns a three-point edge on the Winnipeg Jets, who hold the second wild card by two points over the Calgary Flames.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The San Jose Sharks did the Kraken a favor when they beat the Jets 3-0 on Tuesday night, but Seattle would prefer to take care of business on its own.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Kraken are 3-4-2 in their past nine games, which has prevented them from solidifying a playoff spot.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Seattle is also winless in its past four home games (0-3-1), with its last victory at Climate Pledge Arena coming against the Ducks on March 7, a 5-2 win.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Kraken fans are also feeling impatient with their goalie situation.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Philipp Grubauer was pulled in the most recent game, a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild in St. \r\n<a href=https://vk09.at>kraken вход</a> \r\n \r\nPaul, Minn., on Monday, after surrendering four goals on 13 shots. Martin Jones made six saves in relief.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Grubauer has a 2.57 goals-against average for his 11-year NHL career, but is over 3.00 for the second straight year with the Kraken.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Seattle coach Dave Hakstol doesn't seem to be panicking, however.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\"We need our depth to keep doing what they're doing,\" Hakstol said after practice Wednesday.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Ducks (23-41-10, 56 points) are in a much different boat than the Kraken.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Loser of five in a row, Anaheim could be without its top two scorers, Trevor Zegras and Troy Terry, when it opens a three-game road trip in Seattle.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Zegras, who leads Anaheim with 22 goals and 37 assists, sustained a lower-body injury in the first period of a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Monday.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He tried to play through the pain, but eventually left after the second period and did not return.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Zegras did not practice with the team in Anaheim on Wednesday, but he will accompany the Ducks on the trip and his status is day-to-day, Anaheim coach Dallas Eakins said.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Terry will not make the trip, as his wife, Dani, is expecting their first child.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Derek Grant, who scored the lone goal in the loss to Colorado, said the team can't make excuses for not playing well.</p> <p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\"You have to show up every night, no matter where you are in the standings or what time of the year it is,\" Grant said. \r\n \r\n<!-- ad: website -->"
