- Seattle held the Kings to zero rush chances in the game while generating seven of their own but the Kings were more effective in getting to the slot (eight shots versus five for the Kraken).
- The Kings were the first team of this six-game homestand to break through the Kraken’s penalty kill. The PK had gone a perfect 13-for-13 before Anze Kopitar scored.

In 3:52 of PP time, Seattle had eight shot attempts and earned 1.25 goals in shot quality. Comparatively, LA had eight shot attempts In 5:03 and just .41 expected goals.
