This should a very fun match up to watch, this will be the 3rd meeting between these teams as each team has grabbed a win in the season series. St. Louis has won 4 of the 5 match ups between these two sides since Seattle came into the league.
Both of these sides are coming into this game trying to snap losing streaks, let’s take a deeper look and see who will snap the streak.
Seattle Kraken
Seattle comes into this game after losing 3 in a row, including their most recent loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 on Sunday at home. The Kraken were dominated in the first period of that game, trailing 3-1 and being out shot 20-7. Seattle came out guns blazing in the second period outshooting the Leafs 15-4 but the only goal of the period was scored by Auston Matthews. Matthews capped off the win by grabbing another goal in the 3rd to seal it.
Offense
The Kraken are a better offensive team than they are defensively, they put up a good amount of goals coming in at 3.44 in the league which is good enough for 7th in the league. However the kraken don’t necessarily generate a lot of offence they rank in the bottom half of the league in shots on goal, and power play percentage, also dead last in face off percentage. However they do have the leagues best shooting percentage at 11.5%.
Defense
On the defensive end the Kraken struggle a bit, they keep the shots on goal to a minimum actually 3rd best in the NHL at only 29.9 per game, but they give up a lot of goals at 3.15 per game which is only good enough for 17th in the league. I feel a big reason for that is the fact that the penalty is absolutely dreadful. Ranking 30th in the league at only 72%. Thankfully for the Kraken they are usually very disciplined only giving up 8 penalty mins per night which is 7th best in the NHL.
Goaltending
Martin Jones is expected to get the nod between the pipes on Tuesday, he has had a very good year record wise going 23-10-3, has a bit of a disappointing .890 save percentage. Bottom line the record shows he is picking up wins for his club.
St. Louis Blues
St. Louis will be coming into Tuesday looking to snap their 5 game losing streak. The Blues most recent loss came against a decent Penguins team 3-2 in overtime. To be fair this losing streak could of probably been a bit predictable as they have had a really tough schedule facing the Avalanche, the Hurricanes and the Penguins but they have dropped some games they really should of won, against Ottawa and Vancouver, those are just games you can’t lose if you battling for a play off spot.
Offense
Let’s just be honest here, offensively the Blues struggle they only average 3 goals per game which ranks them 22nd in the NHL, they also rank 29th in the league in shots per game. The power play really isn’t any better at 20th in the league. Two of the things they do better is at the face off dot and their shooting percentage which 14th and 9th respectively. Going against a team that doesn’t allow a lot of goals the offence could be tested tonight.
Defense
Defensively St. Louis could possibly be worse. Giving up 3.63 goals per game which is way at the bottom of the league, not surprisingly they give up a ton of shots, the penalty kill is well below average killing off only 76% of penalties which ranks them 22nd in the NHL. One positive is they don’t take many penalties 2nd least penalized team in the NHL.
Goaltending
Jordan Binnington should get the call in net for the Blues tonight, he has struggled this year compared to years past, going 21-20-5 with a high 3.27 goals against average, plus a below average .896 save percentage, he does have 2 shutouts this season and surprisingly has been playing well in the losing streak but he will need a top tier performance if he wants to grab his blues a win on Tuesday vs the Kraken.

Free Seattle Kraken vs. St. Louis Blues NHL Prediction
Originally I was going to pick the Kraken on the ML, thay are the better team and I thought we would get a decent price as they have been struggling of late, but when I looked deeper they have struggled against the Blues since joining the league, plus the Kraken have not been good on the road lately, and the price really isn’t that good. Ill be on the Under here. Good luck!
