So far, 2025 has not been kind to the Penguins or the Seattle Kraken, so when those two teams meet tonight, they’ll be looking to turn their fortunes around.
It’s the final game of a five-game homestand for the Penguins, who are 1-2-1 and have collected only 3 of a possible 8 points in those five games.
Pittsburgh comes into the game 1-2-3 in 2025. The Kraken are 1-4-1.
The Penguins are fifth in the Metro Division, sixth in the Eastern Conference Wild Card race, two points out of the last playoff slot. Only the top two Wild Card teams can make it into the playoffs.
Coach Mike Sullivan says the Penguins can’t get down because of the rough start to the new year

Faceoff tonight is shortly after 7 PM. We’re on the air on 92.5 FM U92 at 6.
