Kraken vs. Blues 2nd Period Recap

The Kraken start the period with 2:43 of power play time, the remainder of Dean's high-sticking double minor. For the four minutes total, Seattle gets one SOG, while St. Louis had two while shorthanded.

Trouble when Will Borgen stubs a shot, sending the Blues down ice. Robert Thomas' pass has Daccord swimming, down and out. Zack Bolduc shovels the puck under the goalie, but instead of finding the unguarded net, it hits the post. Bolduc holds both hands to his head.

There's a distinct Gateway City flavor to the TNT broadcast. Craig Berube, fired earlier this season by the Blues, is in the studio; Pang spent many years as a Blues broadcaster. When Pang interviews Seattle's Schwartz, they show him lifting the Stanley Cup with St. Louis in 2019. "I love it here," Schwartz says.

In the last two minutes, Daccord loses his goalie stick defending against a Blues rush, but St. Louis can't capitalize. St. Louis outshoots Seattle 13-6 in the 2nd, including the last seven SOG of the period when the home team noticeably tilted the ice.
