St. Louis comes to Seattle having played just one game this season, so it's hard to know what kind of team the Blues will truly be this year. But we can look at that performance with an additional eye to last season to see what the Kraken might be up against tonight at Climate Pledge Arena.
Let's look at the upcoming matchup by the numbers:
- After facing a high-event team like Carolina, St. Louis brings a different pace of play. There will still be a lot of pucks fired at the net, but the Blues go for more on-target shooting (ranking fourth currently in shots on target per Sportlogiq) while coming in 23rd overall in all shot attempts per Sportlogiq.
- With a high-end top six, the Blues also attack in a variety of ways: off the rush, cycle, and jumping on rebounds. But they didn't show a lot coming off the forecheck - at least in this very small sample size.
