NHL Power Rankings: Which Metro Teams Are Poised for a Shocking Leap This Season?
Ekholm’s drop-off was evident in the back half of last season. Now, with the Oilers floundering, his play is a real red flag. His acquisition was a game-changer for the team; his sudden decline has the potential to be the exact same thing.
23. Seattle Kraken, 11-8-6
Last week: 22
Sean: 23
Dom: 23
Same as ever for Matty Beniers: He’s fifth in Defensive Rating among centers but producing just 1.75 points per 60. He’s scored three goals in 25 games (0.35 per 60, down from 0.78 last season), and he’s shooting the puck less frequently than ever. There’s value in elite defensive centers, but Seattle needs more from him.
