NHL Hot Offenses
Scoring Surge: Seattle Kraken Lead NHL Offenses This Week
Published
No player box scores landed in our archive for this stretch, so we will let the team totals do the talking. Scoreboards do not lie: here is who has been piling up goals in NHL over the last seven days.
Who's piling it on
Seattle Kraken lead the league at 4.0 goals per game, 8 in two games, while allowing 4 over the same stretch. The formula has been simple: score first, score often.
Montreal Canadiens are next at 3.7 goals a game, close enough to argue.
Nor is it a two-team story, Washington Capitals are averaging 3.5 themselves.
Where the scoring stops
St. Louis Blues bring up the rear at 1.0 goals per game over 2 games. Every lineup goes quiet sometimes; theirs has picked now.
That is a 3.0-goals-per-game spread between the two ends of the table, and margins like that are exactly where weekly form shows up.
The board
The leaders, in one glance:
| Team | Games | Goals | Per game |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle Kraken | 2 | 8 | 4.0 |
| Montreal Canadiens | 3 | 11 | 3.7 |
| Washington Capitals | 2 | 7 | 3.5 |
| Chicago Blackhawks | 2 | 6 | 3.0 |
| Minnesota Wild | 2 | 6 | 3.0 |
Worth remembering
Everything above is counted from completed games in the window and nothing else: no strength-of-schedule massage, no projections, just the scoreboard.
Scoring comes in waves. This is where the wave is right now, where it breaks next is anybody's honest guess.
