The Ottawa Senators are on the second night of their first sequence of consecutive gameplay. After being in a tough loss in New York, they face the Seattle Kraken in their first matchup of two of the season. This is the only time the Kraken will travel to the Canadian capital.

Seattle and Ottawa are both young feisty teams with first year coaches. Seattle has Joey Daccord as their starting netminder, who they grabbed from the Senators during the expansion draft. They also both added veteran presence up and down the roster over the summer, with the Kraken adding Chandler Stephenson and Brandon Montour.

Daccord faces Forsberg in the blue crease this evening.
