Seattle Kraken top Blues 4-3 in seven-round shootout

SEATTLE (AP) — Chandler Stephenson scored the deciding goal in the seventh round of a shootout, and the Seattle Kraken beat the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Saturday night.

Seattle Kraken 4, St. Louis Blues 3 (SO): Box score

Jaden Schwartz, Michael Eyssimont and Shane Wright scored in regulation for Seattle, and Tye Kartye had two assists. Philipp Grubauer had 20 saves.

Nick Leddy had a goal and an assist, and Radek Faksa and Colton Parayko also scored for St. Louis. Jordan Binnington finished with 14 saves.

Eeli Tolvanen and Kaapo Kakko also scored in the tiebreaker for Seattle, and Jake Neighbours and Robert Thomas tallied for St. Louis.

After Stephenson scored, rookie Jimmy Snuggerud’s attempt was wide left to give the Kraken the win.

Faksa tied the score 1-1 at 1:06 of the third, backhanding a rebound from a sharp angle.

Eyssimont put the Kraken back ahead at 6:44, scoring on the rebound of a shot by Kartye.

However, Parayko scored on a backhander through Grubauer’s five-hole after a give-and-go with Thomas at 7:21, and Leddy scored on a slap shot through traffic 13 seconds later to put the Blues up 3-2.

Wright tied it again at 9:53 with a deflection off his left skate.

After a scoreless first period, Schwartz gave the Kraken a 1-0 lead at 3:44 of the second with his 25th of the season. Schwartz’s pass for Stephenson on a 2-on-2 rush, was blocked by a sliding Leddy. The puck came back to Schwartz and he scored in the open side of the net as Binnington had slid to his right to play the pass.

Projected Lineup: Feb. 26 vs. Seattle | St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).

It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.

“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”

Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.

Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.

Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.

“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”

Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.

“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
