Seattle Kraken vs. New York Islanders Predictions

The Islanders, under the guidance of new head coach Patrick Roy, have shown signs of resurgence, but consistency remains their biggest challenge. With a middle-of-the-pack offensive ranking and a defense that has been leaky at times, the Islanders will rely heavily on the playmaking abilities of Mathew Barzal and the goal-scoring prowess of Brock Nelson. Their power play, clicking at a decent rate, could be a difference-maker in this contest.

Seattle, in their sophomore season, has had a rollercoaster ride, marked by streaks both good and bad. The Kraken’s offense, led by Jared McCann and supported by Oliver Bjorkstrand, has been potent at times but will face a stern test against the Islanders’ goaltending. Defensively, the Kraken have been solid, ranking in the top half of the league in goals allowed, which could stifle the Islanders’ scoring efforts.

This game features a key goaltender matchup with the Islanders’ Ilya Sorokin, who boasts a solid save percentage, going up against the Kraken’s Philipp Grubauer, expected to start after a lengthy injury layoff. Both teams have had their struggles, but with playoff positioning on the line, expect a tightly contested game where special teams and goaltending could tip the scales in favor of the more disciplined and opportunistic side.

Seattle Kraken vs. New York Islanders Pick

Given the current form of both teams and their recent performances, the under seems to be the most logical pick for this matchup. The Islanders have hit the under in 20 of their games this season, while the Kraken have also leaned towards the under, with 30 games falling below the total line. Additionally, the Kraken are on a three-game losing streak, during which they’ve struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only three goals in their last three games. This offensive drought, coupled with the Islanders’ tendency to play close, low-scoring games, suggests that we’re unlikely to see a high-scoring affair.

Historically, the head-to-head matchups between these two teams have also favored the under, with two of their last three encounters falling below the total line. The Islanders’ defense, backed by Sorokin’s solid goaltending, is likely to limit the Kraken’s scoring opportunities. Moreover, with Grubauer expected to start for the Kraken after a long injury absence, there may be a period of readjustment that could further hinder Seattle’s offensive output. Taking into account these factors, along with the pressure of playoff positioning, both teams are expected to adopt a more conservative and disciplined approach, making the under the most compelling pick for this game.

The Pick: Under 5.5 +102 (BetRivers)
