Seattle Must Improve Special Teams

The Seattle Kraken might be winning games at a nice clip, but they are still a team that has struggled on special teams. Seattle has scored on the power play 21% of the time, but they are killing off less than 70% of its penalties.

Forward Andre Burakovsky leads the team with 24 assists and 35 total points. Goaltender Martin Jones has posted a record of 20-5-3, and he has been a huge key to the success. Jones is going to put up a low total against a Blackhawks team that struggles to score.

The lack of Offense Hurting the Hawks

It’s been a miserable season for the Chicago Blackhawks, and it has the team searching for positive signs. After a recent win, goaltender Alex Stalock said of winning, “It gives a lot of life to this group.

The Blackhawks are scoring just 2.2 goals per game, and they are now playing without a serious weapon in Patrick Kane. Chicago just doesn’t have a ton of overall talent, but that was part of the organizational strategy this season.

Stalock has been playing extremely well in the blue paint of late for the Blackhawks, but they are still allowing over 3.6 goals per game. Chicago tends to be trailing in most games, and they aren’t going to be able to make a comeback.
