Avalanche at Kraken projected goalies

Pavel Francouz (6-6-0, 2.61 GAA, .917 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Philipp Grubauer (4-8-1, 3.37 GAA, .888 SV%)

Francouz will likely get the starting nod after Alexandar Georgiev started and won in Vancouver Friday. The backup has won 2 straight starts and 4 of the previous 5 outings. Francouz is 2-1-0 with a 2.03 GAA and .932 SV% with a shutout in 3 January outings.

Grubauer allowed just 2 goals on 29 shots in a home loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning Monday. He has allowed 3 or fewer goals in 6 straight starts dating back to Dec. 13.

Avalanche at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Avalanche 4, Kraken 2

Moneyline

The AVALANCHE (+100) are a solid play, as Colorado has been red-hot lately. The offense is clicking, and the Avs are looking for a season-high 5th-consecutive victory.

The Avs playing in the second end of a back-to-back shouldn’t dissuade you from picking them, as they’re 15-5 in the past 20 games playing on no rest.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Avalanche +1.5 (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return if you want to back the defending champs on the road.

AVOID, as that’s too much risk for not enough reward. Just play them straight up.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-120) is the play.

For Colorado, the Avs are 4-0-1 in the past 5 games on the road, while going 12-3-1 in the past 16 games against Western Conference foes. The Under is also 9-3 in the past 12 games when playing on no rest, and 15-5-1 in the past 21 against teams with a winning overall record.

For Seattle, the Under is 12-4-1 in the past 17 games at Climate Pledge Arena, while hitting at a 5-2 clip in the past 7 against Central Division foes.

Seattle Kraken at Boston Bruins odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Seattle Kraken at Boston Bruins odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seattle Kraken (24-12-4) play the 6th game of a 7-game road trip Thursday against the Boston Bruins (32-4-4) at TD Garden. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kraken vs. Bruins odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Seattle is 5-for-5 so far on road trip after beating the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 on Tuesday night. The Kraken has scored 4 or more goals in each of the last 6 games, all wins, good for an average of 5.0 goals per game (GPG). On the flip side, it has allowed just 11 goals during the 6-game span since Jan. 1.

The Bruins wrapped up a 3-game West Coast swing with a 7-1 win in Anaheim on Sunday, and it averaged 5.3 GPG during the trip while yielding 1.7 GPG. Boston is 5-0-1 in the last 6 vs. Western Conference teams since a stunning 4-3 loss at Arizona on Dec. 9.

Kraken at Bruins projected goalies

Martin Jones (19-5-3, 2.78 GAA, .894 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Linus Ullmark (22-1-1, 1.87 GAA, .938 SV%, 2 SO)

Jones has been on fire since the ball dropped to ring in the new year, going 5-0-0 with a 1.60 GAA and .934 SV%, including a 21-save shutout in Montreal last time out on Monday. He has won 4 straight vs. Eastern Conference teams, too, while garnering at least 1 point in 6 straight vs. East since Dec. 6.

The All-Star Ullmark has been lights out, and showing no signs of slowing down. He allowed just 2 goals on 30 shots in a 4-2 win in San Jose on Saturday in his most recent showing, and Ullmark has won 5 straight in regulation. On home ice he is even better than his overall numbers, going 12-0-1 with a 1.78 GAA and .940 SV% in 14 starts.

Kraken at Bruins picks and predictions

Prediction

Bruins 4, Kraken 2

Moneyline

The Bruins (-230) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s a risky play given how well the Kraken (+195) has looked lately. The B’s should be able to pull it out, but there is no value playing the money line, even if you included the home side in a multi-team parlay.

PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

The BRUINS -1.5 (+105) are a solid play, and if anybody is going to cool off the Kraken +1.5 (-125) on the road, it’s Boston.

The Kraken could run out of steam here, as it plays the 3rd game in 4 days, and the 4th game in 6 days. Seattle is 2-6 in the last 8 in the 3rd game of a 3-in-4 situation, and 1-8 in the last 9 in the 4th game of a 4-in-6.

Boston is 41-12 in the last 53 games at home, while going 19-7 in the last 26 against winning teams, and 36-15 in the last 51 against the Pacific Division, too.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-120) is the lean, but go with a half-unit at best.

Jones and Ullmark have been 2 of the hottest tendies in the NHL lately, but these offenses have been pretty stout lately, too.

The Over is 3-1-1 in the last 5 games overall for the B’s, while the Over is 6-2-1 in the last 9 for the Kraken following a win, and 3-0-1 in the last 4 in the 4th game of a 4-in-6 situation. Still, The Under is 11-4-3 in the last 18 for Seattle against the East, and we should see a total just a shade Under the line.

Seattle Kraken at Montreal Canadiens odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Seattle Kraken at Montreal Canadiens odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seattle Kraken (22-12-4) face the Montreal Canadiens (16-21-3) Monday at Bell Centre in Montreal. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kraken vs. Canadiens odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Kraken doubled up the Ottawa Senators 8-4 Saturday, improving to 3-0 to start their 7-game road trip and recording their 4th win in a row overall. The Kraken have scored 4 or more goals (5.5 GPG) during the 4-game winning streak.

The Canadiens tripped up the St. Louis Blues 5-4 Saturday, snapping an 0-6-1 skid. Montreal will be looking for the series sweep of Seattle after winning 4-2 at Climate Pledge Arena on Dec. 6.

Kraken at Canadiens projected goalies

Philipp Grubauer (3-7-1, 3.53 GAA, .881 SV%) vs. Jake Allen (10-16-1, 3.52 GAA, .892 SV%)

Grubauer allowed 3 goals on just 5 shots in 3:55 in a start against the Edmonton Oilers last time out on Dec. 30. He has lost 6 of his past 7 starts dating back to Dec. 3.

Allen allowed 4 goals on 22 shots in a wild 5-4 win over the Blues last time out on Saturday. That snapped an 0-6-1 skid dating back to Dec. 12. He was the goalie in Seattle in the 4-2 win on Dec. 6, stopping 31 of the 33 shots he faced.

Kraken at Canadiens picks and predictions

Prediction

Kraken 5, Canadiens 2

Moneyline

The Kraken (-190) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive on the road, even if Seattle comes in rather hot lately. Remember, the Canadiens have already tripped them up once this season.

PASS.

Puck line/Against the spread

The KRAKEN -1.5 (+130) is a much better value on the puck line.

Not only has Seattle won 4 in a row, but it has won each of those games by 3 or more goals. As hot as the Kraken are, that’s how cold the Canadiens have been. While the Habs won as an underdog Saturday, they are 1-6 in the past 7 games as an underdog on the puck line.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-115) is the play, as the Kraken have been on fire offensively lately.

Seattle has netted 22 total goals in its last 4 games. The Over is also 4-1 in the past 5 games for Montreal, and the Habs have yielded 30 goals in their last 5 outings.

Islanders at Kraken projected goalies

Ilya Sorokin (13-11-0, 2.26 GAA, .926 SV%) vs. Philipp Grubauer (3-7-0, 3.53 GAA, .881 SV%)

Sorokin is on a 3-game winning streak during which he has allowed only 1 goal in each game. He has stopped 62 of the 65 shots faced in the 3 games. He has 2.42 GAA and 3-5-1 record in 10 December appearances.

Grubauer allowed 3 goals on 5 shots in under 4 minutes and was pulled from Friday’s loss against Edmonton. He has lost 4 of his last 5 starts and has a 3.65 GAA in 8 December games.

Islanders at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Islanders 3, Kraken 2

Moneyline

LEAN ISLANDERS +105.

With the momentum from their winning streak combined with the Kraken playing their backup goalie, the Rangers should be able to come out of the gates rolling in this game. This will be a tough matchup for the Kraken, who have a 9-8-2 record at home.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Islanders are the better and hotter team and will make this a close game even if they lose, but -250 is unplayable.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 6.5 (-135).

Both of these teams have offenses that are very inconsistent, but have the potential to put up 5+ goals on any given night. Had this been a game with more significance I would likely advise the over simply because of the scoring potential of both teams. For this matchup, the Under should be safer.

Edmonton Oilers at Seattle Kraken odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Edmonton Oilers at Seattle Kraken odds and lines, with NHL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Edmonton Oilers (19-15-2) meet the Seattle Kraken (18-11-4) at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle Friday. Puck drop is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN+/Hulu). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Oilers vs. Kraken odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Oilers emerged from the holiday break with a 2-1 road win at the Calgary Flames Tuesday. Edmonton has alternated wins and losses in the past 4 games, going 2-1-1. The Over is on a 12-3-1 run in the past 16 games for the Oilers.

This is the first of 4 regular-season meetings between these teams — and the first of 3 battles in the next 19 days.

The Kraken also played the Flames in their most recent game, falling 3-2 at home Wednesday. Seattle has cooled off a bit lately, going 3-6-1 across the past 10 games overall, averaging 2.8 goals per game (GPG) during the span.

Oilers at Kraken projected goalies

Stuart Skinner (11-9-1, 2.81 GAA, .916 SV%) vs. Philipp Grubauer (3-6-1, 3.28 GAA, .889 SV%)

Skinner allowed a single goal on 47 shots in the 2-1 win in Calgary Tuesday. He has a 5-4-1 record with a 2.71 GAA and .917 SV% through 10 starts in December, and he has basically swiped the No. 1 job from G Jack Campbell.

Grubauer allowed 3 goals on 44 shots against the Flames Wednesday, but goal support continues to be an issue for the veteran. Seattle’s offense has provided a total of 11 goals across his past 6 starts.

Oilers at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Oilers 4, Kraken 3

Moneyline

The OILERS (-115) are a solid play on the road against the Kraken.

Edmonton has won 33 of the past 46 games inside the Pacific Division, a .717 winning percentage. Seattle has won just 3 of the past 10 games overall while cashing in just 14 of the previous 46 against teams with a winning overall record.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Kraken +1.5 (-250) will cost you 2-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive if you don’t trust the home side straight up and would like a little insurance.

Seattle is actually 12-3 on the puck line in the past 15 games as an underdog, but this is still just too expensive.

PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-115) is the way to go with the total.

The Over has hit in 6 of the last 8 road games for the Oilers while going 12-3-1 in the past 16 games inside the Western Conference. The Over is also 4-1 in the past 5 against winning sides.

While the Under is 10-2-1 in the past 13 at home for the Kraken, the Over is 4-1-1 in the past 6 when playing on a day of rest and 7-3 in the past 10 games inside the Pacific Division.

Calgary Flames at Seattle Kraken odds, picks and predictions

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

The Calgary Flames (16-13-7) meet the Seattle Kraken (18-10-4) at Climate Pledge Arena Wednesday. Puck drop is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Flames vs. Kraken odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Flames were tripped up 2-1 at home against the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday as the Under (6.5) cashed. It was the 3rd consecutive game decided by 1 goal by Calgary, going 1-1-1 during the span.

The Kraken were outlasted 6-5 in a shootout against the Vancouver Canucks prior to the holiday break Thursday as the Over (6.5) connected. Seattle has scored 2 or more goals in each of the past 6 games, averaging 3.7 goals per game (GPG) during the span.

Flames at Kraken projected goalies

Dan Vladar (5-4-3, 2.90 GAA, .903 SV%) vs. Philipp Grubauer (3-5-1, 3.30 GAA, .882 SV%)

The 25-year-old Vladar has coughed up 9 total goals in his last 2 starts, a pair of overtime losses at Toronto Dec. 10, and at Los Angeles Thursday. He is still 3-0-2 with a 3.16 GAA and .888 SV% in 5 December starts.

Grubauer had one of his better outings of the season last time out Dec. 18, turning aside 15 of the 17 shots he faced in a win. He is still just 2-4-0 with a 3.26 GAA and .890 SV% in 6 December outings.

Flames at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Kraken 4, Flames 3

Moneyline

The KRAKEN (-105) are worth a roll of the dice in what is essentially a pick ’em.

Seattle picked up a 5-4 win in Calgary back on Nov. 1 in the first meeting behind G Joey Daccord as the Over connected.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Flames +1.5 (-290) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return if you would like some insurance on the road team. If you like Calgary, just play it straight up.

PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (+115) is a solid value at plus money.

We saw the Over (6.5) connect in the first meeting, and we’re getting a battle of Vladar and Grubauer, both of whom have been very giving lately.

The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 games overall for Calgary, while going 4-1 in the past 5 games against teams with a winning overall record.

The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games inside the division for the Kraken while going 29-13-5 in the past 47 games against losing teams, too.

Capitals at Kraken projected goalies

Darcy Kuemper (12-4-0, 2.44 GAA, .921 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Philipp Grubauer (4-1-1, 3.35 GAA, .870 SV%)

Kuemper has picked up victories in 3 consecutive games, including allowing just 3 goals on 87 shots in a shutout of the Calgary Flames Friday. While he was 4-6-0 over 10 starts in November, he had a solid 2.61 GAA and .912 SV%. The Caps provided just 9 total goals of offensive support in the 6 losses.

Grubauer allowed 2 goals on 22 shots in his return to the lineup Friday at Vegas after missing 5 weeks due to a lower-body injury. He has faced just one Eastern Conference team, the Carolina Hurricanes on Oct. 17, and he was on the short end of a 5-1 loss.

Capitals at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Kraken 4, Capitals 2

Moneyline

The KRAKEN (-125) have been red-hot on offense, led by rookie C Matty Beniers, who has 4 goals and 7 assists with a plus-9 rating across the past 5 outings. Offseason free-agent addition LW Andre Burakovsky is good for 5 goals and 3 assists in the past 4 outings, and Justin Schultz has 2 goals and 10 oints in the past 6 games. The Kraken are releasing the puck and getting points from all over.

The Capitals have won just once in the past 7 games on the road, and they’re 2-10 in the past 12 against teams with a winning record, too.

Puck line/Against the spread

The KRAKEN -1.5 (+175) are worth a roll of the dice on the puck line for a chance to nearly double up.

Seattle has won 6 in a row, 4 straight against the Eastern Conference and 5 of their last 7 at home. While the Kraken have won just twice in the past 5 games by more than 1 goal, 6 of their past 11 wins have been by 2 or more goals.

Over/Under

OVER 5.5 (-135) is the play here, and the fact the total is so low makes this a strong play.

Seattle has lit the lamp 17 times in the past 3 games, has scored 3 or more goals in 5 straight outings and 15 of the previous 17 outings.

The reason the line is so low is due to the Caps, who are on a 5-0 Under run. It will be interesting to see if Grubauer can cool off the red-hot Kraken.

Predators at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Kraken 3, Predators 2

Moneyline

The KRAKEN (-120) are a decent play against the sub-.500 Predators.

Seattle didn’t have the same type of expansion season success as its first-year predecessors from Vegas, but the Kraken are enjoying a tremendous second NHL campaign. You can confidently bet Seattle, especially with young star C Matty Beniers combining with veterans LW Andre Burakovsky and C Jaden Schwartz to roll up some solid offensive totals.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Predators +1.5 (-240) will cost you nearly 2 1/2 times your potential return if you’re looking for insurance and just can’t play them straight up.

While Seattle is playing well lately, it is still just 2-5 in the past 7 tries against Central Division foes, so be careful.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 6.5 (-130) is a strong play, as Jones is playing with a ton of confidence for the Kraken. He has allowed just the 3 goals in his past 3 starts. While he is due for a stinker, the Predators aren’t an offensive juggernaut likely to put a dent in his statistics.

Keep rolling with the Under in Preds games, as Nashville is scoring just 2.8 GPG this season to rank 28th. It is also just 29th on the power play at 14.9%, while killing penalties at an 82.6% clip to rank 7th in the NHL.

Canucks at Kraken projected goalies

Thatcher Demko (0-5-1, 4.06 GAA, .872 SV%) vs. Martin Jones (3-2-1, 3.31 GAA, .870 SV%)

Demko was a little better last time out, coughing up 3 goals on a season-high 39 shots in a 3-2 loss against the Hurricanes. It was just the 2nd time in 6 starts this season that he has allowed 3 or fewer goals.

Jones has stepped in and stepped up at times for the Kraken. He has earned all 3 of the team’s wins, including a 15-save effort in a 5-1 victory against the Sabres last time out. He has either been really good, or terrible, with no in-between.

Canucks at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Canucks 4, Kraken 3

Moneyline

The CANUCKS (+105) have been super close, losing 4 of their 7 games by just 1 goal. Vancouver isn’t going to lose forever, and this is a very winnable game in Seattle against a team the Canucks owned last season.

The Canucks have dropped 8 straight on the road dating back to last season, but the good news is that Vancouver has won 8 of the past 9 games when playing on 2 days of rest.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Canucks +1.5 (-220) will cost you nearly 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s super risky just for a little bit of insurance. If you like Vancouver, just play it straight up at plus money.

PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5 (-105) has been on fire for the Canucks dating back to last season. The Over is 10-3-1 in their last 14 inside the Pacific Division while going 4-1 in the previous 5 road outings. The Over was also 3-0-1 in the most recent 4 meetings with Seattle.

The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 games inside the Pacific Division for the Kraken, too, while going 4-0 in the past 4 games following a win.

Blues at Kraken projected goalies

Jordan Binnington (1-0-0, 2.00 GAA, .920 SV%) vs. Philipp Grubauer (0-1-1, 4.26 GAA, .851 SV%)

Binnington was rarely tested in the regular-season opener, turning aside 23 of the 25 shots he faced for the victory. He didn’t face the Kraken in their inaugural season in 2021-22.

Grubauer has gotten off to a rough start, allowing 5 goals in each of his 2 starts. He helped the team to a 5-4 OT loss in Anaheim last Wednesday but he and the Kraken were buried by the Hurricanes 5-1 Monday.

Blues at Kraken picks and predictions

Prediction

Blues 4, Kraken 2

Moneyline

The BLUES (-150) are moderate favorites, but they are easily the play here. St. Louis is well rested, having played just 1 game. While this is its first road contest of the season, so there is a little bit of concern, the Kraken have dropped each of their games at CPA so far.

Puck line/Against the spread

Roll with the BLUES -1.5 (+160) for a chance at a solid payday, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see this game need an empty-net goal to get across the finish line. A half-unit play is warranted here, but don’t go crazy.

Over/Under

The UNDER 6.5 (-120) will cost you a little extra, but it’s a sound play. The Kraken are an exciting offense full of young talent, but they’ll have difficulty solving the defense and strong goaltending of the Blues. Seattle has managed just 3 total goals in its 2 home games, and it’ll have another power outage here.
