The Penguins will be hosting the Seattle Kraken at 1:00 PM this afternoon. Coverage on Beaver County Radio will begin with pre-game at 12:30 PM.

The game was originally scheduled for 6:00 PM tonight but was rescheduled due to the moving of the Steelers/Bills NFL playoff game to 4:30 PM Monday afternoon.

The Penguins have lost two consecutive games in overtime to Vancouver and Carolina, the latter of which was a 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes on Saturday evening. Meanwhile, the Kraken have won nine consecutive games, including a 7-4 win in their last game at Columbus on Saturday.

Seattle currently has 47 points (19-14-9), sitting in 5th place in the Metropolitan Division. The Penguins are at 46 points (20-15-6) and currently are tied for 6th place in the Metropolitan Division with the Washington Capitals.
