The Seattle Kraken will travel to St. Louis, Missouri, to face the St. Louis Blues at the Enterprise Center. The game is scheduled to start at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday afternoon and will air on TNT and MAX.

After making the playoffs last season in only their 2^nd season in the NHL, the Seattle Kraken will not make the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs as they enter this game with a record of 33-33-13 and 79 points, which puts them 15 points behind the Vegas Golden Knight. After the Golden Knights won on Friday, the playoffs were set for the Western Conference. 

The Kraken have lost two straight games following a 1-3 loss on the road against the Dallas Stars on Saturday, which followed a 1-3 loss against the worst team in the NHL, the San Jose Sharks, at home. 

Seattle’s woes this season can be attributed to its offensive play. They have been one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL, ranking 29^th in the league in scoring with an average of 2.67 goals per game. This will be the third and final time the Seattle Kraken will face the St. Louis Blues this season. The Kraken have won both of the previous games in the series this season, including the most recent meeting by a score of 3-4 at home. 

The Seattle Kraken will look to avoid the regular season series sweep when they travel to face the St. Louis Blues.

The St. Louis Blues still had an outside chance of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs entering Friday. However, following a win by the Vegas Golden Knights and a loss against the Carolina Hurricanes at home by a score of 2-5, the Blues have been eliminated from contention for the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs and will miss the playoff for the second consecutive season. 

The Blues have won two of their previous three games, with wins coming against the Anaheim Ducks by a score of 6-5 and the Chicago Blackhawks by a score of 5-2. St. Louis has dominated the series this season against Seattle, winning the two previous meetings and winning by an average margin of 1 goal per game after losing the series 1-2 last season. 

The St. Louis Blues will go for the regular season series sweep when they host the Seattle Kraken on Sunday afternoon.

BetNow has the St. Louis Blues listed as -130 moneyline favorites at home against the Seattle Kraken on Sunday afternoon. This will be the third and final time this season these teams will meet, with St. Louis having won the previous two meetings by an average of 1 goal per game. 

The Blues have won six of the eight games all-time in the series and have won by an average margin of .88 goals per game in those contests.

Neither team will be in the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season after the Blues were eliminated from playoff contention following the loss against the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday. St. Louis has dominated the series against Seattle, winning six of the eight games all-time, including the two meetings this season. The Blues have won by an average margin of 1 goal per game in the meetings this season, so I am taking the moneyline for the St. Louis Blues when they host the Seattle Kraken on Sunday afternoon.
