Seattle Kraken play-by-play announcer John Forslund highlights how an identity change under Lane Lambert is paying off early this season.

It was a bad day at work for the Pittsburgh Penguins (10-6-4) on Friday as they ended their week-long layover from Sweden with a clunker against the red-hot Minnesota Wild, losing 5-0 at PPG Paints Arena. The Penguins get right back to work Saturday as they host the Seattle Kraken (10-5-5) at PPG Paints Arena.

The Seattle Kraken play their first home game Saturday night. To celebrate, special events are happening during the day throughout Seattle. Here is a look at what's planned in Emerald City: Cammi Granato raised the Kraken flag at the Space Needle. At 605 feet up, the NHL's first female pro scout was flying high Saturday morning, literally.

The Seattle Kraken wrap up a four-game road trip Sunday afternoon, November 23, on the road against the New York Islanders. The puck will drop at 2 p.m. on November 23 at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.

The Pittsburgh Penguins still might have been dragging a bit Friday night from their two-game trip to Stockholm last weekend for the NHL's Global Series.

The Seattle Kraken selected Stars defenseman Jamie Oleksiak in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft on Wednesday. Nicknamed "Big Rig" for his 6-foot-7, 255-pound frame, Oleksiak recorded 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in 56 games with Dallas during the shortened 2020-21 season.

BOTTOM LINE: The Pittsburgh Penguins play the Seattle Kraken in a non-conference matchup. Pittsburgh has a 5-3-1 record at home and a 10-6-4 record overall. The Penguins have a +10 scoring differential, with 62 total goals scored and 52 allowed.

When no penalty was called, Bedard confronted referee Justin Kea in the corner, prompting an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, sending the Kraken into a man-advantage situation. With two seconds left on the ensuing power play, Jaden Schwartz scored the game-winning goal for Seattle.
