Anaheim Ducks vs. Seattle Kraken Predictions

The Seattle Kraken, coming off a confidence-boosting 4-0 victory against the Ducks in their last encounter, aim to continue their winning ways at the Climate Pledge Arena. The Kraken’s offense has been led by Jared McCann, who tops the team with 27 goals, while Vince Dunn has been a playmaking force with 34 assists. Despite their mid-table position, the Kraken have shown they can be formidable, especially with the recent shutout performance by goaltender Joey Daccord.

On the other side, the Anaheim Ducks are looking to rebound from their recent defeats and salvage pride in a challenging season. Frank Vatrano has been a bright spot for the Ducks, leading the team with 30 goals and 51 points, with Troy Terry contributing significantly as well. The Ducks have struggled defensively, ranking near the bottom of the conference, but they’ll be looking to tighten up and give the Kraken a run for their money in this rematch.

This game could come down to special teams and goaltending, with the Kraken’s power play efficiency posing a significant threat to the Ducks’ penalty kill unit. Key player matchups, like the faceoff battle between the Kraken’s centers and the Ducks’ defensive pairings, will be critical in determining who comes out on top. Both teams have their work cut out for them, but with the end of the season in sight, they’ll be fighting for every point they can get.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Seattle Kraken Pick

While the Seattle Kraken have had the upper hand in recent matchups, the current odds present a valuable opportunity to back the Anaheim Ducks on the moneyline. The Ducks are coming off a tough loss and will be eager to avenge their recent defeat. With the Kraken’s inconsistent performance throughout the season, as evidenced by their .408 win percentage, there’s a window for the Ducks to capitalize on any complacency from their opponents. Additionally, the Ducks’ leading scorer, Frank Vatrano, has been in fine form, and if he can find the back of the net early, it could set the tone for the game.

Historically, the Kraken may have dominated the head-to-head record, but the Ducks have shown resilience as underdogs before, and with the pressure off, they could play a more relaxed and effective game. The Kraken’s recent win streak could lead to overconfidence, which the Ducks can exploit. Given the potential for a high-reward payout with the Ducks’ moneyline bet, combined with the unpredictable nature of late-season games, taking a chance on Anaheim could prove to be a shrewd move for bettors looking for value.

The Pick: Anaheim Ducks +190 (DraftKings)
