Blues Look For Valuable Early Points
Last season, the St. Louis Blues finished just seven points behind the Nashville Predators for the final playoff spot in the Central Division. That means that the Blues come into this season knowing that they need every single point they can get if they want to move into the top-four in the standings in the Central. They will look to start that process with a win on the road today against a Seattle Kraken team that struggled at home for much of last season. If that is going to happen, the Blues will need to be better defensively than they were a season ago, when they gave up over three goals per game on average.
Kraken Look to Start Season On Right Foot
The Seattle Kraken missed the playoffs by a wide margin in the Pacific Division, finishing 17 points behind the Vegas Golden Knights for fourth place in that division. This season, the Kraken are at home to start their season and they will look to get a win that they hope will springboard them toward playoff contention this year. Seattle has the edge defensively going into this Blues vs Kraken matchup, but the question for Seattle will be whether or not they can score more goals this year, as they finished in the bottom-four in the Western Conference in goals scored a season ago.
Blues vs Kraken Best Bet
This game is going to be an interesting one from Seattle, as Blues vs Kraken represents an interesting contrast in styles in the Pacific Northwest. We will take the Blues to win as an underdog in this game, as they should be more of a threat in the offensive zone in big moments. Look for the Kraken to struggle to score goals once again and for the Blues to get started on the right foot.
