Seattle Kraken vs. Montreal Canadiens Predictions
The Seattle Kraken are entering the game on a four-game losing streak, struggling to find the back of the net and secure wins. Despite their recent skid, the Kraken have shown potential throughout the season with Jared McCann leading the team with 11 goals and Oliver Bjorkstrand topping the points tally with 20. The Kraken’s offense will need to step up against a Canadiens team that has been inconsistent but can surprise on any given night.
Montreal, on the other hand, has had its own set of challenges, with a two-game losing streak and a record hovering around the .500 mark. The Canadiens will rely heavily on their captain Nick Suzuki, who leads the team with 20 points, to spark their offense. Defensively, both teams have room for improvement, with the Kraken and Canadiens ranking in the lower half of their respective conferences. This game could come down to which team can tighten up at the back and capitalize on their offensive opportunities.
Key player matchups to watch include the Kraken’s Vince Dunn, who has been a playmaking force from the blue line, against the Canadiens’ top scorer Suzuki. The goaltending battle will also be crucial, as both teams have had issues with consistency between the pipes. With both teams desperate for a win to turn their seasons around, expect a competitive and urgent effort from the puck drop.
Seattle Kraken vs. Montreal Canadiens Picks
The Seattle Kraken moneyline bet is the favorable pick for this matchup. Despite their recent losing streak, the Kraken have historically performed well against the Canadiens, winning three out of their last four encounters. The Kraken’s offensive capabilities, led by Jared McCann and Oliver Bjorkstrand, have the potential to exploit the Canadiens’ defensive weaknesses. Additionally, the Kraken’s ability to perform on the road, as evidenced by their previous victories in Montreal, adds to the confidence in this pick. The odds offered by BetRivers at -155 for the Kraken moneyline bet present a valuable opportunity given the team’s head-to-head record and the Canadiens’ inconsistent season performance.
Furthermore, the Kraken’s strong showing in their last game against the Canadiens, where they shut them out 4-0, cannot be overlooked. The Kraken’s goaltender Martin Jones had a stellar performance, and if he can replicate that level of play, it will be a significant advantage. While the Canadiens have the home-ice advantage and a capable leader in Nick Suzuki, the Kraken’s need to break their losing streak and their historical edge over Montreal makes them the right pick for this game. The Kraken’s recent form might not be impressive, but considering the matchup specifics and the favorable odds, betting on the Seattle Kraken moneyline is a calculated risk worth taking.
The Pick: Seattle Kraken -155 (BetRivers)
