As the Seattle Kraken gear up for the 2024-25 NHL season, a closer look is warranted at the team's goals against performance. Last season, the Kraken faced significant challenges, with defensive consistency being a key area of concern. According to stats, the team struggled in the second half of the season, leading to an increase in goals against. Players like Philip Grubauer faced immense pressure as they worked to keep the puck out of the net, showcasing glimpses of brilliance amidst the chaos.
In an effort to bolster their defense, the Kraken have made noteworthy offseason acquisitions. The addition of a strong physical presence on the blue line aims to help the team maintain better control in the defensive zone. With seasoned players like Adam Larsson and newcomers stepping up, the Kraken are optimistic about turning the tide from last season’s struggles. General Manager Ron Francis has emphasized the importance of building a robust defensive framework that will support their talented forwards.
While Seattle’s offense is indeed potent, the success of the upcoming season heavily relies on their ability to limit scoring opportunities for opponents. Effective communication and teamwork on the ice will be crucial as younger players gain experience. Furthermore, players such as Matty Beniers and Jared McCann are expected to contribute to both ends of the ice, ensuring a more balanced game for the Kraken. As fans anticipate the excitement of the new season, it's clear that a commitment to defensive improvement will be paramount for the Kraken’s ambitions to compete at the highest level.
