Seattle Kraken at Anaheim Ducks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Seattle Kraken at Anaheim Ducks odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seattle Kraken and Anaheim Ducks open their seasons Wednesday at the Honda Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kraken vs. Ducks, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Kraken finished 8th in the Pacific Division last season with a 27-49-6 record. This year’s No. 4 overall pick C Shane Wright has made Seattle’s roster to start the season and should provide Kraken fans with optimism for the future alongside top prospect C Matty Beniers.

Beniers is the favorite to win the Calder Memorial Trophy at +380.

The Ducks finished 7th in the Pacific Division last season with a 31-37-14 record. Anaheim will need a lot of production from their young players this season; including 21-year-old C Trevor Zegras who finished 2nd on the Ducks with 61 points (23 goals, 38 assists) last season and 2021’s No. 3 overall pick C Mason McTavish.

McTavish has the 2nd-best odds to win the Calder Memorial Trophy at +480.

Kraken at Ducks picks and predictions

Prediction

Kraken 4, Ducks 3

Moneyline

SEATTLE (+105) won the last head-to-head meeting 4-3 in Anaheim on Feb. 11, and they should win again in this spot. I project the Kraken to be a better team than Anaheim this season and they start with a win in their season opener.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

Seattle +1.5 (-250) is too expensive to bet, especially this early in the season when there are so many question marks. The ML and the total provide better opportunities that will contribute to long-term winning.

Over/Under

OVER 5.5 (-125) is worth a bet as both of these goalies struggled in the head-to-head meetings last season. The Over was 4-1 in Seattle’s final 5 road games last season and 3-0-1 in Anaheim’s final 4 games last season.

Seattle Kraken at Anaheim Ducks odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Seattle Kraken at Anaheim Ducks odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seattle Kraken (10-15-3) visit the Anaheim Ducks (16-9-5) Wednesday at Honda Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Kraken vs. Ducks odds and lines, and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

The Kraken picked up a 3-1 win on the road against the San Jose Sharks Tuesday, and now have the quick turnaround with no rest. In the early days of the franchise, Seattle is 1-2 in the second end of a back-to-back set so far.

The Ducks roughed up Seattle 7-4 Nov. 11 in the first-ever meeting at Climate Pledge Arena. The Ducks have won three of their past four games overall, and have just one loss in regulation across the previous eight games dating back to Nov. 28.

Kraken at Ducks projected goalies

Philipp Grubauer (7-11-3, 3.25 GAA, .884 SV%) vs. Anthony Stolarz (5-2-1, 2.26 GAA, .930 SV%, 2 SO)

Grubauer hasn’t won in his last three starts, and he has allowed 3 or more goals in each of his past six appearances. He was also in the crease for the Nov. 11 loss against the Ducks, coughing up 5 goals on 34 shots.

Stolarz has allowed just 2 goals across his past two starts and three appearances over 142:10, and he has won five straight starts dating back to Nov. 5.

Kraken at Ducks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Ducks 3, Kraken 1

Money line

The DUCKS (-155) are a decent play as moderate favorites as the Kraken face the quick turnaround after a solid 3-1 win in San Jose. Seattle has never won back-to-back games in a two-day span, and it’s not going to happen on this night, either.

Against the spread

The DUCKS -1.5 (+155) is worth a small-unit play at this price. The Kraken are flying high after a win Tuesday. But we’ll see a Seattle team with heavy legs facing a suffocating defense and solid goaltending.

Over/Under

UNDER 5.5 (+100) is the play. The Kraken have averaged just 2.0 goals per game across the past four outings. The Ducks have scored 7 goals while allowing 4 in the previous four outings, hitting the Under in each contest. Look for a defensive battle in SoCal.
