I imagine we should see Grubauer get another start here as he looks to build on a strong game against the Flames in the midst a very rough season. Although I would plainly admit the deep defensive core should be able to be somewhat of a strength big picture. So considering that their bigger downfall will likely always be a lack of production with little in the way of truly elite talents in the lineup, the Kraken will certainly not be much of a formidable opponent should they remain in less-than-strong defensive form. I’m certainly not shuffling my belief that the Kraken will continue to allow a fair amount of goals moving forward based off Saturday’s one-off. The Flames carried the expected goals score 2.71 to 1.53, but to me it was worse than that, with the Flames unable to cap off a number of pretty passing plays which went both under quantified in that data or not quantified at all for the ones ending without a shot on goal.Īll season long Seattle has conceded more goals than expected, and it has now seen its expected-goals-against-per-60 rate rise to 2.98 over its last five games. Seattle managed to keep it close Saturday against the Flames, but the close scoreline came with some great puck-luck and a rare strong start in goal from Philipp Grubauer. Could a similar effort give the Kraken a better result against a more manageable Canucks team? The Kraken hung around in Calgary on Saturday night in captain Mark Giordano’s return home, behind a a rare strong goaltending performance.
The loss was likely its worst over Bruce Boudreau’s tenure as Canucks head coach, where his club has gone 15-7-4. Vancouver looks to bounce back after a 7-4 home loss to the Ducks.
