The Vegas Golden Knights are set to face the Seattle Kraken on Thursday, April 9, in a late-night Western Conference matchup at Climate Pledge Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET, and the game will stream on +.
It is a watch guide more than a recap, but the setup still matters. Vegas comes in at 36-26-16 with 88 points and sits sixth in the Western Conference, while Seattle is 32-34-11 and 13th with 75 points. Those records frame a meeting between a team trying to hold its place near the top half of the standings and another that has spent much of the season chasing ground.
One name worth watching is Philipp Grubauer, who was listed day-to-day with a lower-body injury. That leaves a question hanging over Seattle’s setup before the opening faceoff, especially with a late start that will push the game well past prime time for East Coast viewers.
