From the very beginning of the current regular season Pittsburgh is engaged in the pursuit of the cup eight. In the last six games they lost to Washington and Buffalo - 3:4 and 1:3, respectively, beat Boston - 4:1, then Philadelphia - 4:1, and then lost twice in overtime to Vancouver and Carolina - 3:4 and 2:3, respectively. That's only good enough for 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Krakens are in phenomenal form right now, and therefore have a current streak of nine consecutive wins, while still sitting outside the playoff zone. Indeed, they had a poor start to the current regular season, leaving them floundering among the underdogs for a long time, but then they had such a productive stretch. This spurt allowed them to reach the ninth position.

The Penguins have only two wins in their last six games, and therefore they are once again getting further away from the playoff zone. The Krakens, on the other hand, are seven steps closer to the Cup Eight with a current streak of nine consecutive wins.

The rivalry between Pittsburgh and Seattle is not characterized by high efficiency. In the three previous head-to-head meetings, the rivals have combined for only 11 goals (3.67 average per game).
