This game felt a lot like the Blackhawks’ loss to the Kings at the United Center, except the Blackhawks dominated the puck more in this game. The Kraken just didn’t let them get a lot of good, clean shots off — and the Blackhawks couldn’t finish.
The Blackhawks had a 22-11 Corsi For advantage at 5-on-5 in the second period and a 35-23 overall advantage at 5-on-5 after 40 minutes of hockey (49-24 in all situations). The Blackhawks out-shot the Kraken 14-5 in the second period. Chicago had the puck in the offensive zone 55 percent of the game thru two periods. They had nothing but a two-goal deficit to show for it.
The effort plays continued into the third and the Blackhawks were able to break thru in the middle of the period. Unfortunately, a neutral zone turnover turned into a third goal for Seattle with 3:55 left in regulation.
Star 1: André Burakovsky
Burakovsky got the Blackhawks on the board in the middle of the third period. He’s now scored in three straight games and has five goals on the season.

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 4, 2025Star 2: Connor Bedard
I couldn’t make Burakovsky a star and not give Bedard credit for making a great play to set him up with a great scoring chance. Bedard extended his personal point streak to five games, during which he has nine points. The Blackhawks needed a play and Bedard made one to set up Burakovsky for the first Chicago goal. He won 10 of 14 faceoffs in the game as well.
Star 3: Wyatt Kaiser
Thru two periods, Kaiser was on the ice at 5-on-5 for 14 Blackhawks shots on net to just 5 for the Kraken. Kaiser’s expected Goals For (1.72) was the highest on the Blackhawks — almost 0.8 more than the second-best on the team (Oliver Moore — 0.95). In 11:34 total thru two periods, Kaiser was credited with one shot on net, one blocked shot and one hit.

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 4, 2025Key Takeaways
The Blackhawks might want to throw out everything they’ve done on the power play and start over from scratch. Moore’s speed was noticeable out of the gate, but he was looking to score more frequently than we saw when he joined the Blackhawks at the end of last season. He was buzzing in the first period and finished the frame tied for the team lead with two shots on goal (team-high four shot attempts). Colton Dach had a strong first period as well. He led the Blackhawks with two shots on goal and three hits in the first. He barely got on the ice in the second or third periods, though. Interestingly, 8 of the Blackhawks’ 11 forwards took at least one faceoff in the first period. As a team, the Hawks won 7 of 15 draws in the first period. The Blackhawks won 16 of 22 faceoffs in the second period. Thru 40 minutes, Frank Nazar had won 7 of 9 and Bedard had won 6 of 9 at the dot. Nazar won 10 of 15 faceoffs in the game. Chicago won 60 percent of the faceoffs in the game. Artyom Levshunov‘s Shots For ratio was 10-4 favoring the Hawks thru two periods. His expected Goal For was (0.93) ranked fourth on the team. He was playing quite well. Arvid Söderblom had a mostly solid night. He didn’t have much of a chance on either of the first two goals; the first one had three layers of screens and the second was a missile. He would probably like the third one back, however, and appeared to be frustrated when Jordan Eberle beat him. He stopped 21 of 24 in the game.Hence then, the article about blackhawks 1 kraken 3 three stars key takeaways was published today ( ) and is available on Bleacher Nation ( Middle East ) The editorial team at PressBee has edited and verified it, and it may have been modified, fully republished, or quoted.
