Seattle Kraken have been struggling recently, with a series of losses impacting their form. Despite this, players like Jaden Schwartz and Vince Dunn have shown promise, with Schwartz scoring twice in their recent win against the Vancouver Canucks. The team has been effective in blocking shots and maintaining a strong physical presence with high hit counts, as seen in their game against the Colorado Avalanche. However, they need to improve their powerplay efficiency, as they failed to score in powerplay situations in recent matches.

Utah Hockey Club has had a mixed run of form, showing potential in some games but lacking consistency. Clayton Keller has been a standout performer, scoring four goals in a high-scoring game against the Anaheim Ducks. The team has been strong in faceoffs and blocking shots, particularly in their win over the Minnesota Wild. However, they have struggled with giveaways and maintaining discipline, which has cost them in close games like their recent match against the Dallas Stars.
