Anaheim Ducks vs. Seattle Kraken Predictions

The Seattle Kraken, amidst an 8-game losing streak, are looking to turn the tide against the Anaheim Ducks, who are also struggling with a recent 1-game loss following a tough season. The Kraken, currently 12th in the Western Conference, are aiming to leverage their home-ice advantage at the Climate Pledge Arena to snap their losing streak and climb up the rankings. Key players like Jared McCann, leading the team with 27 goals, and Vince Dunn, with a team-high 34 assists, will be crucial in sparking the Kraken’s offense against the Ducks’ defense.

The Anaheim Ducks, sitting at 14th in the conference, have had their own challenges this season but will look to capitalize on the Kraken’s recent form. With Frank Vatrano leading the team with 30 goals and Troy Terry contributing 30 assists, the Ducks have the offensive firepower to challenge the Kraken’s defense. Both teams have had issues with consistency, but this matchup presents an opportunity for either side to gain some much-needed confidence as the season winds down.

Defensively, both teams will need to step up to secure a win. The Kraken’s recent games have seen a high number of goals against, which they’ll need to reduce if they hope to come out on top. The Ducks, while not faring much better in defensive rankings, will look to exploit any gaps in the Kraken’s armor. This game could come down to key player matchups and which team can best execute their game plan. With both teams eager to improve their records, fans can expect a competitive and spirited game.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Seattle Kraken Pick

Despite the Seattle Kraken’s home-ice advantage and the urgency to break their 8-game losing streak, the Anaheim Ducks present a compelling moneyline bet. The Kraken’s recent form has been concerning, with a lack of defensive solidity and an inability to close out games. The Ducks, on the other hand, have shown the ability to score with players like Frank Vatrano leading the charge. With the Kraken’s confidence likely shaken by their losing streak and the Ducks’ potential to exploit this vulnerability, the odds are attractive for an Anaheim victory.

Historically, the head-to-head matchups have favored the Kraken, but the Ducks’ recent performance against the spread and their competitive scoring ability, as seen in their last victory with a score of 5-4, suggest they can overcome past trends. Additionally, the Ducks’ win percentage as the underdog is noteworthy, and with the Kraken’s current form, this game sets up well for an upset. The Ducks’ ability to win faceoffs and capitalize on power play opportunities could be the difference-maker in this matchup, making the Anaheim Ducks moneyline bet the more strategic choice.

The Pick: Anaheim Ducks +170 (BetRivers)
