Hakstol makes line changes ahead of Tuesday's game

Tuesday's game in Detroit will be a huge test for the Kraken as they face a Detroit team who has come out of the gate swinging.

Seattle head coach Dave Hakstol has made some adjustments to the forward lines ahead of the game.

The new look lines suggest that Hakstol is trying to spread out the scoring amongst the forward lines, giving them the ability to roll all four.




Tye Kartye will be playing on the first line alongside Matty Beniers and Jordan Eberle. His relentlessness should create some open space in the offensive zone.

Jared McCann will be moved down to the third line alongside Yanni Gourde and Eeli Tolvanen.

Hakstol in his press conference said how he feels McCann and Gourde have chemistry from playing together the past couple seasons and on the penalty kill, and he feels Tolvanen will provide some nice consistent play to that line.
