The New York Islanders (18-20-7) travel to meet the Seattle Kraken (16-32-4) Tuesday at Climate Pledge Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN+/Hulu). Below, we look at the Islanders vs. Kraken odds and lines, and make our expert NHL picks, predictions and bets.

The Islanders have dropped four of their last five games, including a 3-2 shootout loss Sunday in Montreal. New York will have revenge on its mind, as it fell 3-0 at home to the Kraken Feb. 2 prior to the All-Star break.

Islanders at Kraken projected goalies

Sorokin allowed 2 goals on 27 shots in Sunday’s 3-2 shootout loss in Montreal. He has just one win in his last five starts and is 3-3-1 with a 2.70 GAA and .914 SV% across seven starts in February.

Grubauer was given a rest in Vancouver, as G Chris Driedger made the start. Grubauer turned aside all 19 of the shots he faced in the Feb. 2 shutout victory at UBS Arena in the first meeting with the Islanders.

Islanders at Kraken odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Islanders 4, Kraken 2

Money line

The ISLANDERS (-150) are moderate favorites on the road in this revenge game. The Krakenhaven’t fared very well in the second end of back-to-back sets, going 1-4 in the last five when playing on no rest. Seattle beat New York in the first-ever meeting two weeks ago, but it’s not going to happen again.

Against the spread

The ISLANDERS -1.5 (+165) are worth a small-unit play in this battle against the Kraken. Expect Seattle’s legs to be tired after a tough game in Vancouver Monday which didn’t exactly go its way.

New York has just three wins through eight games in February, but each of the wins was by 2 or more goals. If you like the Isles to win, you should like them on the puck line.

Over/Under

OVER 5.5 (+100) is a decent play at even money. The Over has cashed in four of the last five road games for the Isles and is 5-0 in their last five as road favorites. The Over is 4-0 in the past four home games for the Kraken, while going 5-1 in their last six games overall.

Kraken at Canucks projected goalies

Philipp Grubauer (12-21-4, 3.15 GAA, .887 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Thatcher Demko (20-16-2, 2.67 GAA, .916 SV%, 1 SO)

Since a 19-save shutout, Feb. 1, against the New York Islanders, Grubauer has dropped four consecutive starts while allowing an average of three goals during the losing streak. He is 1-4 with a 2.82 GAA and .900 SV% in five February starts.

Demko was trucked for five goals on 14 shots Saturday against the Ducks before being pulled. He has allowed nine goals on 42 shots across his past two outings, but he is still 3-2-0 in five starts in the month of February.

Kraken at Canucks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Canucks 5, Kraken 3

Money line

The CANUCKS (-180) are a little on the pricey side but a solid play against the struggling Kraken (+145). Vancouver has registered seven of the past eight games as a favorite, while going 4-1 in the past five at home when favored.

The Kraken have fallen in 16 of the past 22 games on the road, while going 5-16 in the past 21 as an underdog and 2-6 in the previous eight inside the division.

Against the spread

The CANUCKS -1.5 (+140) at plus-money is a solid play here. Vancouver has beaten the opposition by two or more goals in five of their last seven victories.

Over/Under

OVER 5.5 (-130) is a bit costly, but it’s the best play on the board in this Pacific Northwest battle. The Over is 5-1 in the past six games for the Canucks, and 6-0 in the past six when favored. The Over is 4-1 in the previous five outings for the Kraken, while going 15-4-1 in the past 20 outings against teams with a losing overall record.

Kraken at Islanders projected goalies

Philipp Grubauer (11-17-4, 3.20 GAA, .885 SV%) vs. Semyon Varlamov (3-8-1, 2.61 GAA, .915 SV%)

Grubauer was playing at a Vezina level last season, but it’s a long fall from the mountaintop in Colorado to an expansion team in Seattle. He has still won four of his past six starts, showing signs of life lately.

Varlamov has dropped three of his past four starts, falling well behind Ilya Sorokin on the team’s depth chart. But the backup will get the nod after Sorokin posted the victory in the front end of the back-to-back.

Varlamov is looking for his first win against a Western Conference team this season, going 0-4-1 with a 2.81 GAA and .907 SV% in his previous action.

Kraken vs. Islanders odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Kraken 3, Islanders 2

Money line

The KRAKEN (+133) are worth a roll of the dice as live ‘dogs, as Varlamov just cannot get out of his own way lately. And after a slow start to the season, Grubauer has started to regain some of his form lately. Both teams are likely to be tired after a back-to-back situation for each side, so expect a lot of sloppy hockey.

Against the spread

The Kraken +1.5 (-190) will cost you nearly two times your potential return on the puck line. That’s too expensive if you want a little insurance and don’t trust them. Just play the money line straight up as it’s a much better value.

PASS.

Over/Under

UNDER 5.5 (-112) is worth a small-unit play, mainly because of the back-to-back situation for both teams, particularly Seattle. In fact, the Under is 4-1 in the past five games for the Kraken when playing on no rest. The Under is also 8-2 across the past 10 games for Seattle.
