Recent Form (Last 10 Games)
Blues: 3-6-1
- Most recent: W 3-1 vs. Minnesota (March 1), L 3-1 vs. New Jersey (Feb 28), W 5-1 vs. Seattle (Feb 26 – Holloway hat trick).
- Scoring 3.5 goals/game but allowing 3.4; road offense has dried up.
Kraken: 7-3-0 (including 5-0-0 home streak)
- Most recent: W 2-1 vs. Carolina (March 2), W 5-1 vs. Vancouver (Feb 28), L 5-1 @ St. Louis (Feb 26).
- Averaging 3.2 goals scored / 2.3 allowed in the streak; strong 5-on-5 play and special teams at Climate Pledge.
Key Player Matchups
- Robert Thomas / Jordan Kyrou / Dylan Holloway (STL) vs. Seattle’s top D-pair — Thomas (12G-23A) leads the Blues attack; Holloway is red-hot post-injury return. Kraken must contain the speed.
- Chandler Stephenson / Jordan Eberle / Jared McCann (SEA) vs. Blues’ depleted defense — Stephenson (14G-25A) and Eberle (hot streak) should exploit gaps without Krug and possible Parayko absence.
- Goaltending: Likely Joel Hofer (Blues, solid lately) vs. Joey Daccord or Philipp Grubauer (Kraken – both have been strong at home). Seattle’s netminding depth is an edge.
- Special Teams: Kraken PP at 22% (better than Blues’ 17.4%); both PK units around 72%.

- 2025-26 season: Blues won the most recent meeting 5-1 (Feb 26 in St. Louis – Holloway hat trick).
