Former Seattle Kraken FAN-FAVORITE Ryan Donato Leads Chicago in GOALS | Will He EXPOSE What Kraken MISSING? 

The Seattle Kraken host the Chicago Blackhawks at Climate Pledge Arena, and Ryan Donato returns to face his former team. The sandpaper forward who embodied the grit this roster desperately needs now wears Chicago colors and sits fifth in Blackhawks scoring with six goals. Seattle's unbeaten at home with at least a point in every game, but they're averaging just 2.73 goals per game—twenty-fourth in the NHL. Jaden Schwartz nailed it: "We just weren't getting the puck to the net. We weren't inside enough." 

Meanwhile, Jani Nyman was a healthy scratch while Berkly Catton gets top-line minutes. Development or winning? You can't have both when you're carrying three goaltenders. The power play's clicking at 21.9 percent, but the penalty kill is drowning at 67.9 percent. With Connor Bedard and company coming to town, this isn't a gimme game. 

Tonight's about identity—can the Kraken find that net-front presence and sandpaper mentality that made Donato a fan favorite? Because right now, they're winning at home but not playing the style that'll carry them through a full season.
