Blues Face Must-Win Game Against Kraken in Playoff Push

The St. Louis Blues are gearing up for a critical matchup against the Seattle Kraken on April 12, as they fight for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Currently holding a record of 43-30-7, the Blues need a win to secure their postseason chances, especially with the Minnesota Wild closely trailing them. However, the team will be without top defenseman Philip Broberg, who has returned to St. Louis for personal reasons. Despite recent struggles, including two consecutive losses after a 12-game winning streak, key players like Pavel Buchnevich are in strong form, providing hope for a victory. The Kraken have already been eliminated from playoff contention, presenting the Blues with a crucial opportunity to capitalize. The game will take place at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, starting at 9:00 PM CT.
