A Stitch Off The Odd Block | Seattle Kraken
The Kraken have become one of the NHL’s best teams at blocking opposing shots, a growing part of defensive schematics that requires commitment, fortitude and occasionally a few facial stitches.
Kraken defender Ryan Lindgren knows all about blocking shots with his face and swears fellow blue-liner Jamie Oleksiak contemplated the same during last week’s victory over the Winnipeg Jets.
A puck struck the crossbar and was cleared from the Kraken crease with two seconds to go in a scoreless first period, but Jets forward Mark Scheifele quickly swooped in and snapped off a buzzer-beating shot attempt from the left faceoff circle.
Author's summary: Kraken become one of NHL's best shot-blocking teams.
