The St. Louis Blues (27-26-6) dominated the Seattle Kraken (25-31-4) 7-2 at Enterprise Center on Tuesday night, extending their point streak to 3-0-1 in their last four games. The victory extended the Blues’ dominance over the Kraken, marking their fifth consecutive win against Seattle and providing a glimpse of hope to their playoff aspirations.
Key Highlights:
Bolduc’s Night: Zach Bolduc had a breakout performance, scoring twice, including a tip-in early in the third period. Bolduc’s goals helped lead the offensive charge, and his chemistry with linemates Sundqvist and Joseph was evident throughout the game.
Balanced Attack: Cam Fowler and Oskar Sundqvist each tallied a goal and two assists, while Jake Neighbours, ending a 10-game goal drought, scored a much-needed goal and added an assist. The line of Sundqvist, Bolduc, and Mathieu Joseph combined for six points (three goals, three assists), showcasing the depth of the Blues' offense.
Thomas Streaks On: Robert Thomas continued his strong play, extending his point streak to seven games with a goal and an assist. His backhand goal off his own rebound at 5:10 of the second period was a key moment in a four-goal burst during the middle frame.
Binnington’s Strong Performance: Goaltender Jordan Binnington was solid once again, making 25 saves. His 4-0-1 record in his last five games has been vital to the Blues’ recent success, as he remains a steady presence in the crease.
Fast Start: Jordan Kyrou opened the scoring at 8:04 in the first period with a quick wrist shot, putting the Blues up 1-0. Sundqvist doubled the lead with a power-play goal at 12:48, assisted by Pavel Buchnevich.
Four-Goal Burst: The Blues took complete control of the game in the second period, scoring four goals in just 6:56. Thomas made it 3-0, Bolduc added a wrist shot to make it 4-0, and Fowler’s shot from the point stretched the lead to 5-0. Neighbours’ goal at 11:55 gave the Blues a commanding 6-0 advantage, sending Kraken goalie Joey Daccord to the bench in favor of rookie Nikke Kokko.
Binnington’s Shutout Bid Broken: Vince Dunn and Jaden Schwartz found the back of the net for Seattle in the third period, but the game was already well out of reach by then. The Blues maintained their defensive focus and closed out the game with ease, winning 7-2.
