Recent Performance Trends


The Seattle Kraken have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against the Vancouver Canucks, they managed to secure a victory with an impressive 6-3 scoreline. This win was characterized by a strong offensive performance, as evidenced by their six goals on 24 shots, translating to an exceptional shooting percentage of 25 percent. Their faceoff win percentage stood at 56 percent, showcasing dominance in puck possession which played a crucial role in this victory.


However, consistency has been challenging for the Kraken. In the preceding games against St. Louis Blues and Tampa Bay Lightning, they faced setbacks with scores of 2-7 and 1-4 respectively. These losses highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in maintaining puck control and bolstering defense as indicated by lower faceoff win percentages and higher goals against.
