Zack Bolduc scores twice as the Blues beat the Kraken 7-2
The St. Louis Blues delivered an impressive 7-2 victory against the Seattle Kraken, with Zack Bolduc leading the charge with two goals. The game took a turn after a promising start from the Kraken in the second period, where they attempted to capitalize with nine consecutive shots, only to be denied by the stellar goaltending of Jordan Binnington. Bolduc's performance, alongside contributions from Cam Fowler and Oskar Sundqvist—who both had a goal and two assists—underscored the Blues' offensive depth. Jordan Kyrou, Robert Thomas, and Jake Neighbours also found the back of the net, with Thomas extending his point streak to seven games.
The Kraken faced challenges in goal, with Joey Daccord making way for Nikke Kokko after the fifth goal, marking Kokko's NHL debut. The Blues' victory extends their winning streak against the Kraken to five games, enhancing their position in the league. As the Kraken prepare to host the Vancouver Canucks, they will seek to improve on this disappointing performance. This match highlighted both the strengths of the Blues and the areas needing improvement for the Kraken moving forward.
