Seattle Kraken and St. Louis Blues head-to-head record
In their last five meetings, the St. Louis Blues have beaten the Seattle Kraken three times out of five. The Blues most recently won by a score of 4-1 on April 14, 2024. This came after a close 4-3 success in January. Seattle's previous two wins over St. Louis were in 2023, when they beat them 5–3 and 5-2, showing that they could get past their defense. But the Blues have won the last three games in a row, which includes two on Seattle's home ice, so St. Louis may be more confident going into the first game of the season. Based on what has happened lately, this game might be another close one, with the Blues holding a small edge.
