The St. Louis Blues, struggling to find consistency this season, face the Seattle Kraken at Enterprise Center on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 7 p.m. ET. Both teams are seeking a turning point after recent struggles.
The Blues enter the game with a 5-8-2 record. St. Louis is coming off a 3-0 shutout win against the Buffalo Sabres, but that victory followed a 6-1 loss to the Washington Capitals. The Blues have had difficulty maintaining a consistent level of play, and are hoping to build momentum in front of their home crowd.
The Kraken, with a 6-3-4 record, are also looking to rebound after a 6-1 defeat at the hands of the San Jose Sharks. Prior to that loss, Seattle had been on a five-game point streak. Despite ranking near the bottom of the NHL in offense, the Kraken have managed to secure points due to their strong defensive system.
Several factors could influence Saturday's game. The Blues have struggled in games decided by one goal, posting a 1-1-1 record in those contests. They have also had difficulty when scoring two or fewer goals. St. Louis is 5-4-1 in games where they score at least three goals. Their power play has been average, but their penalty kill needs improvement. St. Louis sits near the bottom of the league in goals against, conceding an average of 3.9 goals per game. The Blues have been the worst team in the league in 6v5 situations during the 2024-2025 season.
The Kraken have been strong in one-goal games, earning nine points with a 3-0-3 record. Like the Blues, the Kraken have struggled when scoring two or fewer goals. Seattle's defense has been a key to their success, as they rank eighth in the league in goals allowed per game. However, their offense has struggled, ranking 31st in the NHL in goals scored.
Injury situations could also play a role. The Blues have several players on injured reserve, including Robert Thomas and Jake Neighbours. Neighbours is dealing with a leg injury and is expected to be re-evaluated in five weeks. The Kraken have also been dealing with a significant number of injuries. Jared McCann is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and has been placed on injured reserve. Ryker Evans is out with an upper-body injury.
Computer projections predict a 4-3 Kraken victory. Oddsmakers have the Blues as slight favorites, but the Kraken as a good bet to cover the +1.5 spread. The over/under is set at 5.5 goals.
In their last ten games, the Blues have a 2-6-2 record, averaging 2.6 goals per game and allowing 3.6 goals per game. The Kraken are 4-3-3 in their last ten, averaging 2.5 goals per game and allowing 3 goals per game.
Saturday's game marks the first meeting between the Blues and the Kraken this season.
