The Kraken (8-10-5) play with similar pace, energy, and structure over four lines but continue to battle goaltending issues and have seen their elevated five-on-five shooting percentage from last season come crashing back down to earth. They’re currently scoring on 7.8% of their shots at five-on-five (25th), down from their league-leading 10.3% last season.
Individually, Jared McCann shot a ridiculous 21.6% last season while scoring 30 goals at five-on-five, fourth in the NHL behind only David Pastrnak, Connor McDavid, and Mikko Rantanen. That’s cooled off significantly to a (still high) 14.6% so far this season.
Matty Beniers went from shooting 15.
