Postgame Instant Analysis: Seattle at Nashville
A look at the game “by the numbers.”
- Even though Nashville spent more time in the offensive zone than the Kraken (plus-7 minutes), and created more shot attempts (plus-6 in 5-on-5 play), it was Seattle that had the advantage in overall shot quality (60.61% in 5-on-5 play).
- The Kraken had seven odd-man rushes while only allowing three and exited (75.8%) and entered (56.4%) the zone more successfully than their opponent.
- Brandon Tanev led in individual shot quality (5-on-5) thanks to his seven shot attempts. Adam Larsson led in the same category in all situations (.97).
- Chandler Stephenson earned his first point as a member of the Kraken on the back of a big night: six exits, six entries (team lead), and the most possession time in the offensive zone of any Kraken skater (:38).
- Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Yanni Gourde’s line was once again solid. In 8:03 of playing time, they were plus-4 in shot attempts and generated 83.5-percent of all shot quality.
- The new-look line of Jaden Schwartz and Oliver Bjorkstrand, centered by Chandler Stephenson, had the best shot volume advantage (64.7%), and Matty Beniers’ line with Jared McCann and Jordan Eberle generated 86.4-percent of all shot quality when on the ice.
- One game after Philipp Grubauer earned the team’s first quality start of the season, Joey Daccord added the second. He stopped 30 of 33 shots and saved more goals than expected.
