Seattle Kraken vs. Arizona Coyotes Predictions

The Seattle Kraken enter the game on a six-game losing streak, a disappointing turn for a team that once had playoff aspirations. The Kraken’s offense has been a point of concern, ranking near the bottom of the league, which has contributed to their recent skid. Jared McCann leads the team with 27 goals, but the Kraken will need more from their offense if they hope to overcome the Coyotes. Defensively, they’ve been more stable, but will need to tighten up even further to compensate for their offensive woes.

On the other side, the Arizona Coyotes are also looking to bounce back after a loss in their last outing. With a record that mirrors their opponents’, the Coyotes have had their own struggles throughout the season. Clayton Keller has been a bright spot for the team, leading with 28 goals and 60 points. The Coyotes have shown they can be competitive, especially at home, and will look to leverage their offensive capabilities against the Kraken’s defense. Arizona’s own defensive record has been less than stellar, which could provide an opportunity for the Kraken’s offense to find its footing.

This matchup will likely hinge on key player performances and which team can capitalize on their opportunities. Both teams have had issues with consistency, but with the end of the season approaching, securing a win could provide a much-needed morale boost. The Kraken and Coyotes will both be eager to demonstrate that they can finish strong, making this an intriguing game to watch for fans and analysts alike.

Seattle Kraken vs. Arizona Coyotes Pick

Despite the Seattle Kraken’s recent losing streak, the matchup against the Arizona Coyotes presents a prime opportunity for them to turn things around. The Kraken’s defense has been notably stronger than their offense, and if goaltender Joey Daccord can replicate his past performances against the Coyotes, they stand a good chance of keeping Arizona’s scoring in check. Additionally, the Kraken have historically performed well against the Coyotes, winning three out of their last four encounters. With the Coyotes’ own defensive struggles, this could be the opening the Kraken’s offense needs to break out of their slump and find the back of the net with more consistency.

Moreover, the Coyotes’ recent form hasn’t been impressive either, and their home advantage hasn’t been as dominant as one might expect. The Kraken’s road record is nearly identical to their home record, suggesting they are just as capable of securing a win away from home. Considering the close moneyline odds and the Kraken’s need to snap their losing streak, betting on the Seattle Kraken’s moneyline is a calculated risk with a potentially rewarding outcome. The Kraken’s past success against the Coyotes, coupled with their defensive capabilities, gives them the edge in this matchup, making them the right pick for this game.
