A look at the game “by the numbers.”
- After a sleepy start, the Kraken found some jump in their legs. In 5-ono-5 play, Seattle ended the game with 55.3-percent of all shot volume and 51.4-percent of all shot quality.
- While the Kraken fell 2-0, Philipp Grubauer exceeded expectations. Per evolving-hockey.com, he saved 1.07 more goals than he should have and that was good enough to qualify for his first quality start of the season.
- For the second straight game, Brandon Montour led the way in shot attempts – six in 5-on-5 play and seven overall.
- Jordan Eberle led in terms of individual shot quality (all situations) with .57 expected goals.
- The Yanni Gourde line (which includes Tye Kartye and Brandon Tanev) once again led all Kraken combos in terms of shot quality with a whopping 76.5-percent while on the ice. Their primary competition was the Matt Duchene line.
- Dallas’ two goals came 13 seconds apart marking the third response goal against of the season.
