A look at the game “by the numbers.”
- The Kraken generated more 5-on-5 offensive volume in this one (51.5-percent of all shot attempts) but the Islanders got to the dangerous areas a bit more (plus-5 in high-danger shot attempts) to earn the 58.4-percent shot quality edge over Seattle.
- The Yanni Gourde line continued to lead the way. In 8:57 of ice time he, Brandon Tanev, and Tye Kartye were plus-16 (!) in shot attempts and generated 83.5-percent of all shot quality when they were on the ice.
- Matty Beniers, Jared McCann, and Andre Burakovsky were also effective in tilting the ice with 68-percent of all shot attempts and 59-percent of all shot quality.
- Gourde was the individual leader in shot quality for the Kraken (5-on-5) and no one shot the puck more than Brandon Montour who had nine shot attempts in all situations and led the team in offensive zone possession time (:49).
- Andre Burakovsky had the most rush chances of any Kraken skater (3), the second most controlled entries (7), and the most controlled exits (9).
- Joey Daccord was again solid in net. He earned his seventh quality start this season and saved 1.1 more goals than expected based on the shot quality he faced.
- Seattle won an impressive 66-percent of all loose puck battles.
