Game Highlights


The game was an exhibition of skill and teamwork from the St. Louis Blues, who managed to net seven goals from just 27 shots - an impressive shooting percentage that speaks volumes about their offensive execution.

On defense, Jordan Binnington was nearly impenetrable in goal for the Blues, saving 25 out of 27 shots directed at him by Seattle's offense - showcasing why he is considered among the elite goaltenders in league circles.


Seattle Kraken's Efforts


Despite being outplayed for most of the game, it wasn't all doom and gloom for Seattle Kraken. They managed to break through St. Louis' defense twice during even strength play but struggled significantly in faceoff wins (winning only 34 percent) which limited their ability to control the game.

The Kraken's goaltender faced an onslaught from St. Louis' attackers but could only stop 20 out of 27 shots - reflecting both his valiant effort under pressure and areas needing improvement if Seattle hopes to turn around its fortunes this season.


Looking Ahead


The St. Louis Blues will aim to carry forward this momentum into their next game against Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena on February 27th at 7:00 PM EDT. Fans can catch all action live as it unfolds on ESPN+, MNMT TV or FDSMW TV networks – promising another exciting matchup as they continue striving towards securing a playoff spot.
