The Kraken will play back-to-back road games this weekend, with the first game coming against the Blues on Saturday.

SEATTLE — The Seattle Kraken are back on the road on Saturday, November 8, to take on the St. Louis Blues.  

The puck will drop at 4 p.m. on November 8 at Enterprise Center in St. Louis.

The game will be broadcast on KONG with pregame coverage starting at 3:30 p.m. 


What to know about the Kraken vs. Blues

Here are three things to know about Seattle’s game on Saturday: 

1. In the first of back-to-back road games against Central Division foes this weekend, the Kraken aim to get back in the business of earning standings points. The Good Guys squad has gained at least a point in 10 of its first 13 games, which translates to staying among the top three teams in the Pacific Division.

2. Kraken fans have likely noticed Coach Lane Lambert favors switching lines in-game or next game to spark more offense. He also switches up some line combinations when protecting a lead late in games. Many NHL coaches juggle offense/defense, too, and most try to keep a successful pair together (one recent Kraken example has been Matty Beniers and Jordan Eberle). 

3. After suffering through a seven-game losing streak that garnered just two of 14 possible standings points, the Blues have won two of their last three games. Thursday’s 3-0 road victory was wrested from Buffalo, and without leading scorer Jordan Kyrou, who was a healthy scratch and a human wakeup call generated by STL coach Jim Montgomery.
