Seattle Kraken and St. Louis Blues: Ice Rivalry Heats Up at Enterprise Center

As the Seattle Kraken prepare to face off against the St. Louis Blues at the Enterprise Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent performance on enemy ice. The Kraken's last outing saw them secure a convincing 4-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks, with an impressive offensive display that included a shooting percentage of 12 percent and a total of four goals from even strength play.

Despite this win, consistency has been an issue for Seattle as they suffered a shutout loss (3-0) against the Dallas Stars just prior to their triumph in San Jose. This inconsistency is further highlighted by their performance against the Anaheim Ducks where they managed to capitalize on powerplay opportunities, scoring three out of ten times when they had the man advantage.


The Kraken's goaltending has been solid with save percentages hitting 100 percent in both wins and losses, indicating that goal prevention isn't necessarily where issues lie. However, faceoff win percentages have fluctuated significantly across games ranging from as low as 38 percent up to more respectable figures around 47 percent.

Looking ahead to their next game scheduled for April 14th at Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri; fans can catch all the action live on TNT or stream it via Max Internet services starting at noon local time (5:00 PM UTC). The venue could play a significant role in determining which team comes out on top; however, if Seattle can harness their evident offensive capabilities and improve upon faceoff scenarios, they stand a good chance of leaving St. Louis with another win under their belt.
