The Minnesota Wild will square off against the Seattle Kraken to begin a highly anticipated NHL game on March 19, 2025, at 9:30 pm ET/6:30 pm PT. Before this upcoming game, the Kraken defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2, whereas the Wild beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-1 in their most recent encounter.
The Kraken's 18.8% power play, which is ranked 24th in the league, is marginally inferior to the Wild's 21.4%, which is 19th.

Minnesota Wild and Seattle Kraken head-to-head record
In their last five meetings, the Minnesota Wild and the Seattle Kraken have engaged in a competitive series, with the Wild winning three and the Kraken winning two. The Wild's most recent victory, 4-3, on the fifth of March 2025, demonstrated their tenacity in close games. With a 5-4 victory in October of 2024 and a 4-3 victory in April 2024, Seattle demonstrated that they could keep up with Minnesota's more impressive offensive efforts, which included a resounding 5-2 triumph in February of 2024 and a 3-0 shutout during December 2023. Special teams may be very important because both teams struggle at face-offs and penalty kills. Eeli Tolvanen and Chandler Stephenson have to step up for the Kraken, while Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy, two important offensive players for the Wild, will probably decide the outcome of the hotly contested match.
