Tied at 19 points, Seattle and New York bring contrasting recent form and a standout playmaker matchup to Climate Pledge Arena.
With 19 points apiece, Saturday’s 5 p.m. ET meeting at Climate Pledge Arena gives either club a chance to create separation; Seattle has played 15 games to New York’s 17. Seattle is 3-2 across its last five, while the Rangers have won their last two but are 2-3 in that span. The central matchup is Seattle’s scoring by committee—Chandler Stephenson, Kaapo Kakko and Berkly Catton each have 12 points—against Adam Fox, whose 18 points lead New York. The Rangers rank 12th in the power index to Seattle’s 16th and have a better shots differential, at minus-0.9 per game compared with Seattle’s minus-5. If Seattle can close that shot gap and contain Fox’s playmaking, it can turn the points tie into a meaningful edge; otherwise, New York’s stronger index and two-game win streak give it the sharper case.
