Familiar foes
The Minnesota Wild will be seeking retribution when they play the Los Angeles Kings for the second time in three days at Crypto.com Arena (10:30 p.m. ET; FDSNWI, FDSNNO, FDSNW). Minnesota (25-10-8) came back four different times to force overtime before losing 5-4 in a shootout Saturday that extended their point streak to six games (3-0-3). Keep an eye on Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes, who has five assists in his past two games including an NHL career-high tying four in a 5-2 win against the Ducks on Friday and will represent Team USA at the Olympics. Quinton Byfield had a goal and assist for the Kings (17-14-9) against the Wild and has four points (two goals, two assists) in his four two games.
Surging Seattle
The Seattle Kraken will attempt to extend their point streak to eight when they visit Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome (9:30 p.m. ET; SNW, KONG, KING 5, KHN/Prime). The Kraken (18-14-7) are 6-0-1 in their past seven and have not lost in regulation since a 4-2 defeat against Calgary on Dec. 18. That was the last time the Kraken allowed more than three goals in a game, a significant reason for their recent hot streak. So, too, is the recent play of captain Jordan Eberle with seven points (four goals, three assists) during a six-game point streak. The Flames (18-19-4) are 3-1-0 on a five-game homestand that ends against the Kraken and have outscored opponents 14-8 in four games since the Christmas break.
