Here's something to tickle your hockey taste buds. Yes, sir. We have the Seattle Kraken sailing into St. Louis Blues' waters. Hoping to do a little more than just whipping up a storm.
Now, for the stick wielders on both sides, let's talk about the athletes. Kraken's got Shane Wright and Chandler Stephenson who've been pretty lit on the ice this past month. Wright bagged 5 goals and 7 assists, while Stephenson kept his cool with 2 goals and 5 assists. Don't forget Eeli Tolvanen, 5 goals and 2 assists under his belt in the past month. Not too shabby, I must say.
St. Louis has their own Blues Brothers - Robert Thomas and Pavel Buchnevich. Thomas comes in with a stable 3 goals, 6 assists while Buchnevich has tallied 1 goal and 7 assists in the recent month. And watch out for Jordan Kyrou, he's got 2 goals and 2 assists this past month.
But, you and I know, it all comes down to their gatekeepers. Seattle's Joey Daccord boasts an impressive 92.3% save rate last month while Ales Stezka warms up with an uneven 86.4%. The Blues pose a strong front with Jordan Binnington and Joel Hofer managing save percentages just below 90% in the last month.
The Blues have a strong upper hand in the past matches, scoring wins on most occasions. The regular season records also show a compare and contrast situation with the Blues leading slightly with a 26-6-26 score compared to Seattle's 25-4-30.
Considering the cosmic synchronism of the puck universe, and recent favorites’ luck... *drum roll*...
