San Jose Sharks vs. Seattle Kraken Predictions

The Seattle Kraken are looking to rebound after a recent loss and improve their modest home record. With key players like Jaden Schwartz leading in goals and Vince Dunn contributing significantly in assists and points, the Kraken’s offense has shown flashes of potency. However, their defensive game has been inconsistent, contributing to a less than stellar conference rank. The Kraken will need to tighten up their play and leverage their home crowd to gain the upper hand against the Sharks.

On the other side of the ice, the San Jose Sharks are in dire need of a turnaround. With the worst record in the conference, the Sharks have yet to find success on the road this season. Center Tomas Hertl has been a standout for the team, leading in goals, assists, and points, but he’ll need more support from his teammates if they’re to challenge the Kraken. The Sharks’ defense and goaltending will be under scrutiny as they face a Kraken team eager to take advantage of any weaknesses.

This matchup presents a critical opportunity for both teams. The Kraken, with their eyes on improving their standing in the conference, know that a win against the Sharks could provide a much-needed morale boost. For the Sharks, it’s a chance to finally break their road game curse and start building some positive momentum. Key player matchups to watch include the Kraken’s Vince Dunn against the Sharks’ Tomas Hertl, as both have been instrumental for their respective teams this season.

San Jose Sharks vs. Seattle Kraken Pick

The trends and statistics leading up to this game between the San Jose Sharks and the Seattle Kraken suggest that the under is the most likely outcome. Historically, the head-to-head matchups have favored lower-scoring games, with the under hitting twice in their last three encounters. Additionally, the Sharks have consistently struggled on offense this season, as evidenced by their poor win percentage and inability to secure a road victory thus far. The Kraken, while having a slightly better offensive record, have not been prolific scorers either, and their recent games have seen them fail to capitalize on scoring opportunities, especially at home where they have hit the under more often than not.

Considering the Sharks’ lackluster performance on the road and the Kraken’s defensive approach in recent games, it’s reasonable to expect a game focused more on defense than high scoring. The Sharks will likely play conservatively in an attempt to secure their first road win, while the Kraken will want to exploit the Sharks’ weaknesses without exposing themselves to counterattacks. Given these factors, along with the Sharks’ and Kraken’s recent trends of hitting the under in their respective games, the under seems to be the most prudent pick for this matchup.

The Pick: Under 6.0 -104 (BetRivers)
