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. 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. The Kraken (40-25-8, 88 points) hold the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference with nine games remaining. 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.
Ducks forward Troy Terry will be missing the next three road games – including two of them in Canada – because of the possibility of an early birth. Terry and his wife Dani are expecting their first child and the original due date had been in May. “I'll be staying here just skating,” Terry said on Wednesday. Terry, the Ducks' second-leading scorer with 56 points (21 goals, 35 assists) in 66 games, rejoined the team at practice at Great Park Ice.
